CFD Flocculation Tank 3D Simulation Meeting Minutes
Spring 2009 Minutes
April 17, 2009
Accomplishments
- Ran simulation for 5 turnings: h/b =2,5,10,15
- Calculated performance parameters with modified UDF
Metrics
NA
Outcomes
- Change of material from air to water has a great effect on the shape and size of the energy dissipation region
Issues
- Predicted energy dissipation pattern was not consitent with what was hypothesized. Need to:
- Change the boundary condition at the top of the flocculator to investigate the effect of no-slip boundary condition define at the water surface
- Check the sensitivity of performance parameters to Reynolds number
