  4. 14. Numerical Modelling of Dissolved Air Flotation

    Författare :Mia Bondelind; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Computational Fluid Dynamics CFD ; 2D; multiphase flow; one-phase; 3D; turbulence; Dissolved Air Flotation DAF ;

    Sammanfattning : Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF), a well-established treatment method for water containing e.g. dissolved organic matter and Cryptosporidium, has previously been examined experimentally. However, most measuring techniques still suffer from disturbances from air bubbles and intrusion of the measuring equipment into the flow. LÄS MER
