Fall 2008 Goals
- Decide on the turbulence model for modeling our flow (Use K-e realizable or K-w SST)
- Do literature search
- Compare different turbulence model with the experimental data of backstep flow
- Obtain the Gtheta value from Fluent and compare with theoretical value
- Use the user defined function in Fluent to add up each individual cell values
- Further studies of user defined function is needed to carry out this task
- Analyze the effect of Reynolds number the properties of the flow
- Use Fluent to plot energy dissipation rate, strain rate, pressure contour etc
- Model the whole flocculator instead of just one baffle turning
