Spring 2009 Minutes

Friday, March 6, 2009

Accomplishments

• Started the process of changing algorithms based on energy dissipation rate instead of G*theta.
• Worked on flocculator energy dissipation program.

Metrics

• Gracias preliminary design (Excel spreadsheet) with preliminary parameters.

Outcomes

• For this week, divided tasks included: Change flocculator energy dissipation  program back to handle  arrays so that we can have uniform and tapered baffle spacing as well as Fix the placement code for the baffles, Change drain so that the pipe is now a rectangular channel, Change inlet "pipes" so that they are inlet rectangular columns, Modify the slopes program, Adjust the entrance tank so that the dimensions of the tank are specified based on an entrance tank upward velocity.

Issues

• Continue updating and checking for the name variable changes.
