Numerical simulation on the effects of bubble size and internal structure on flow behavior in a DAF tank: A comparative study of CFD and CFD-PBM approach

Although dissolved air flotation (DAF) plays a crucial role in wastewater treatment, fluid dynamics in the contact zone (CZ) of a DAF tank are still considered black-box processes, which hampers DAF's optimal design and operation. In this article, we perform a modeling study to further unravel...
