PIV and CFD investigation of paddle flocculation hydrodynamics at low rotational speeds

Abstract In this study, flocculation hydrodynamics were evaluated by investigating the velocity field of turbulent flow experimentally and numerically, in a laboratory scale paddle flocculator. Turbulence that either promotes the particle aggregation or the breakage of flocs is complicated and has b...
