A CFD Methodology for Solid and Liquid Flow Fields of Sedimentation Tanks

Abstract:

In this paper, the CFD approach is used to study the solid–liquid two-phase turbulent flow and sludge concentration distribution in a secondary sedimentation tank. By the simulation, the velocity and the turbulent kinetic energy and turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate and solid distribution in a secondary sedimentation tank are obtained, which shows the simulation model is an effective method to investigate the flow patterns and their influence on the process inside the sedimentation vessel.
