Increasing treatment efficiency through computational fluid dynamics modelling

“Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can be used to model drinking water treatment processes to improve their effectiveness. BAS WOLS highlights recent developments within CFD modelling. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) uses numerical methods to solve fluid flow problems. In drinking water treatment engineering, simulations of flow and mixing are often combined with (bio)chemical processes to predict the performance of water treatment installations.The geometry of an installation is divided into small elements, on which the required mathematical equations are solved.”
