To determine the optimal geometry, performance parameters,
εθ, ε^(1/2)θ, ε^(1/3)θ, K, and Gθ,
for each baffle for the following flocculation tank heights of .2, .3, .5, and 1 have been found. These performance parameters are extracted from the results of the converged solutions for the geometries listed above using the attached UDFUDF.
*Note that eps_1/2 values for H/w of 3,5,10 are normalized by the flow (x100).
Pi Cell Analysis
The region of high energy dissipation behind a baffle can be categorized by estimating by pi cell value (the length of the region in terms of the width in between baffles). Interestingly with larger flocculation tank heights the pi-cell values highlighted in the charts above continue to increase.
