The Numerical Simulation Study of a Flocculation Reactor

Abstract:

Three-dimensional flow field of flocculating reactor is simulated. Numerical results were applied to analyze and explain influence of flow field under different flocculation conditions. The results indicate that k, ε can reasonably explain flocculation effect, and meanwhile verify the better applicability as the CFD numerical simulation evaluation indexes of flocculation effect. The results can be extended to find an effective way to optimize the design and operation, to improve the efficiency of flocculation.
