Abstract
This paper presents results of scale model testing of. the Glenmore Water Treatment Plant NE Clearwell in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. This clearwell has a perforated baffle wall at its inlet, a 4-pass serpentine system, and a weir at the outlet. The model was operated based on Froude similarity and had a scale of 1:19. Tracer studies and flow visualization were carried out for three flow rates. From the residence time distribution developed from the tracer tests, it was seen the baffle factor and Morril Dispersion index were affected by the time between when the flow in the model and tracer test was initiated. It took approximately 10 h of flow development time for the results to reach steady-state values for the minimum flow rate. At higher flows, the baffle factor was not as strongly affected by flow development time, however the Morril Dispersion index better matched prototype values at longer times.
