Content Description

Sponsored by the Task Committee on Applications of Computational Fluid Dynamics in Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater Applications of the Computational Fluid Dynamics Committee of the Water Supply, Treatment, and Distribution Engineering Committee of the Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater Council of the Irrigation and Drainage Council of the Technical Coordination Executive Committee of the Environmental and Water Resources Institute of ASCE

Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling in Water Infrastructure: Best Practices introduces a general framework for providing the best computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling practices for water infrastructure design and retrofit. It serves as a primer for developing future modeling-related material for applications in the water and wastewater fields.

Topics include

• Problem formulation and selection of multiphysics models,
• Meshing techniques and types,
• Initial and boundary conditions,
• Numerical models,
• Selecting the most adequate numerical model and turbulence schemes,
• Mesh independency tests,
• Model verification and validation,
• Documentation and reporting processes, and
• Quality control.

This publication serves as a starting point for a conversation around creating guidelines for computational fluid dynamics modeling in the water-related industry and research community. It is particularly applicable to researchers and engineers involved in projects that require CFD of wall-bounded turbulent dispersed multiphase flows, scalar transport, and particulate matter. This material will also aid code developers, software vendors, academic researchers, industry users, and professional organizations as guidelines become more firmly established.
