Sedimentation Tank Simulation Meeting Minutes
Fall 2008 Minutes
October 17, 2008
Accomplishments
- Completed Fluent tutorials: laminar pipe flow, turbulent pipe flow, flat plate boundary layer
- Decide upon the preliminary approach: start from 2D simulation of the cross-section
- Teachin on Thursday; Presentations about AguaClara on IBE conference and Lab demo
Metrics
NA
Outcomes
- Got more familiar with the interfaces of Fluent and Gambit
- Got more familiar with basic steps of setting up and solving problems with Fluent
- Better understood underlying fluid dynamics and numerical methods of CFD
Issues
- Need the dimensions of sedimentation tank and other design details to define the geometry and boundary conditions in Gambit: refer to the design proposal and make reasonable assumptions based on the problems we are addressing
