Abstract

In this paper, a numerical two-phase flow model combining with the Realizable k–ε turbulent model for compressible viscous fluid is presented for the computation of flow characteristics in an aeration tank; and the equations are solved with the finite volume method. The free fluid surface is simulated by the VOF method. A multigrid technique based on the full approximation storage (FAS) scheme is employed to accelerate the numerical convergence. The numerical results for velocity and turbulent kinetic energy distribution in the aeration tank are obtained. It is shown that the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a valuable tool to analyze the interaction of flow field and aeration.
