Title: Better Understanding of Flocculation Process through CFD Simulation
Abstract
Flocculation is a process where particles in the solution collects together to form floc. The design of flocculation tank facilitates this process. Some basic knowledge about what causing this was used to design the flocculation tank. However, there is a need for a computational model to attest the current understanding of the process.
Introduction
We would like to find the strain rate and pressure drop over a flocculation tank. We start modeling the flocculation in just one 180 degree turning.
