2D Simulation of Flow and Sludge Distribution in a Circular Secondary Clarifier

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, we use solid–liquid two-phase mixture model and the Realizable k-ε turbulence model to numerically simulate the advection secondary flow and sludge concentration distribution in a circular secondary clarifier. The PISO algorithm is used to decouple velocity and pressure. The velocity field and the sludge concentration distribution are obtained by the proposed model.
