ABSTRAKT
In the present work the A-MuSiG method implemented in STAR-CCM+ CFD code of CD-adapco has been used in order to simulate flocculation process in wastewater treatment sedimentation tanks. The numerical model includes breakage and aggregation of the flocs, size-dependent settling velocity and spatial segregation of the treated water and flocs of differ sizes.
