Performance of industrial wastewater strainers by computational fluid dynamics

State-of-the art computational methods will be harnessed to design strainers used for collecting and treating industrial and municipal wastewaters. Such devices play a vital role in conserving a vital and ever increasingly scarce natural resource. This research is a new initiative that will benefit societies throughout the world who depend on efficient and effective capture and treatment of wastewater. The academic and industrial partners will develop computational models to modify for the 21st century long-established industrial designs, helping the Canadian enterprise maintain global leadership in the field. The models will explicitly address the challenges of high Reynolds number flows and the transport and capture of particulates within them.
