Structural Optimization of Sedimentation Tank Based on CFD Simulation

The sedimentation tank settling effect is affected by the sedimentation tank’s structure. In order to improve the efficiency of advection sedimentation tank, this study has investigated the effects of three factors on the settling effect. These three factors are baffle depth, baffle horizontal distance and intake height. Using the GAMBIT software to build the two-dimensional simulation model of sedimentation tank. To obtain the concentration field image by calculating the model. By constantly change the parameters to get the best size, we will finally achieve the purpose of optimizing the structure of the sedimentation tank.
