2D Simulation of Flow Field of Horizontal Sedimentation Tank

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, we use 3D time-averaged equations and the 3D k-ε turbulence model to numerically simulate the flow in a horizontal sedimentation tank. The PISO algorithm is used to couple velocity and pressure. The results show that the model can provide a reference in designing sedimentation tanks.
