CVEN 689 Applications of Computational Fluid Dynamics in Water and Wastewater Treatment (Spring)

Designing water and wastewater treatment systems requires a holistic understanding of chemical and biological processes, as well as their interactions with flow dynamics. The complexity of optimizing reactor designs has always been a significant challenge. However, recent advances in computational power have made computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools like Fluent and OpenFOAM more popular, becoming indispensable in both academic research and industrial reactor optimization efforts. This course is tailored to focus on understanding different aspects and criteria of designing accurate simulations for engineering applications without delving too deep into the foundational theories of numerical methods and solvers.
