Abstract:This research is based on computational fluid dynamics simulations of water and microbubble flow within the tank of a lamellar DAF (L-DAF) clarification system operating under high-rate DAF conditions (12–30 m/h). Firstly, performance of the DAF tank with lamellae was evaluated under two operating conditions in which the flow was either short-circuited or stratified in the absence of lamellae. In addition, the improvement in bubble removal efficiency achieved by the incorporation of lamellae in each scenario w… Show more
