CFD Flocculation Tank Simulation Meeting Minutes

Fall 2008 Minutes

September 22, 2008

Accomplishments

• Wrote UDF script for extracting information from each individual cell
• Calculated the total Gtheta value of the model
• Modeled and compare different turbulence model with experimental data

Metrics

Outcomes

• Realized K-e realizable and K-w SST turbulence model is good for modeling the flow
• Obtained Pi value from Gtheta value

Issues

• Gtheta values did not correspond with what was expected
• Having difficulties to know how to get Gtheta
• Need to validate correct ways of getting Gtheta
