Hydraulic Behaviors of Settling Tanks under Two Kinds of Configurations

Abstract:

An object function of hydraulic efficiency for settling tank is presented in this paper. In order to have a more efficient sedimentation tank, a new settling tank with optimum baffle and inlet configuration is presented. The hydraulic behaviors of two settling tanks with different configurations were simulated using FLUENT. The results indicated that choosing appropriate configuration of settling tank can improve the hydraulic efficiency.
