Author Description

Prepared by the Computational Fluid Dynamics Task Committee of the Water Supply, Treatment and Distribution Engineering Committee of the Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater Council of the Environmental and Water Resources Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers Computational Fluid Dynamics: Applications in Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater Treatment provides a valuable introduction and overview of computational fluid dynamics and how it can be used in the water and wastewater industry. This book reviews procedures for conducting flow, transport, and reaction simulations using computational fluid dynamics along with specific practical examples of water, wastewater, and stormwater treatment applications. Computational fluid dynamics has proven to be a valuable tool for designing new and retrofitting existing water, wastewater, and stormwater systems. The availability of ever-increasing computing power further spurs the adoption of computational fluid dynamics in engineering practice and academic research for water infrastructure. This book is organized into five parts, which cover Physical, chemical, and biological processes in water, wastewater, and stormwater treatment; Fundamentals of computational fluid dynamics; Water treatment technologies and CFD application case studies; Wastewater treatment technologies and CFD application case studies; and Stormwater treatment technologies and CFD application case studies. Computational Fluid Dynamics: Applications in Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater Treatment will be a valuable resource to those in the water and wastewater industry, especially water engineers and designers.
