Numerical Prediction of Contaminant Removal from Cavity in Horizontal Channel by Constrained Interpolated Profile Method

Abstract:

In this paper, Constrained Interpolated Profile Method (CIP) was used to simulate contaminants removal from square cavity in channel flow. Predictions were conducted for the range of aspect ratios from 0.25 to 4.0. The inlet parabolic flow with various Reynolds number from 50 to 1000 was used for the whole presentation with the same properties of contaminants and fluid. The obtained results indicated that the percentage of removal increased at high aspect ratio of cavity and higher Reynolds number of flow but it shows more significant changes as increasing aspect ratio rather than increasing Reynolds number. High removal rate was found at the beginning of the removal process.
