Physical Experimentation and 2D-CFD Parametric Study of Flow through Transverse Bottom Racks

In the present study, hydraulic operation of flow through transverse bottom racks screens with conventional triangular wedge wire and alternative circular section is experimentally numerically analyzed. A laboratory prototype built for experimentation clean water sediment. The numerical experiment developed Ansys Fluent software, a 2D CFD parametric study designed to evaluate influence on captured geometric variables, such as screen incline, position along channel (top, middle, bottom), shape, width, or slot width. physical model results make it possible determine efficiency in terms collection capacity sediment removal. contrast, determines variables flow. flows by each are determined numerically. trends total determined, performance studied type assessed using relevant non-dimensional parameters.
