Vortex generating mechanism study

管式膜经常用于许多不同的应用中，包括废水处理、石油和天然气、采矿、林业和工业，以将废水与污染物分离。该提案将看到滑铁卢大学（“滑铁卢”）的流体动力学专家与Swirltex公司合作。（“Swirltex”），一家加拿大技术开发商的Swirltex管状膜。作为第一阶段，UWaterloo团队将首先调查Swirltex先前的研究计划，并对Swirltex技术和其他相关工业过程进行全面的文献综述。在第二阶段，计算模拟（CFD）将用于了解通过管式膜的流量和控制性能的重要变量。 然后，将开发创新的策略，以提高性能，使用CFD和实验测量。Waterloo流体动力学团队现有的创新模拟和测量专业知识将与Swirltex团队的技术知识和技能组合一起用于该项目，以生产下一代工业用Swirltex管式膜。

Tubular membranes are utilized regularly in many diverse applications including wastewater treatment, oil and gas, mining, forestry and industrial to separate wastewater from contaminants. This proposal will see the fluid dynamic specialists at the University of Waterloo ("Waterloo") partner with Swirltex Inc.. ("Swirltex"), a Canadian technology developer of the Swirltex tubular membrane. As a first phase, the UWaterloo team will initially investigate the Swirltex prior research program and conduct a thorough literature review of Swirltex technology and other related industrial processes. In the second phase, computational simulations (CFD) will be used to understand the flow through the tubular membrane and the important variables controlling performance. Then innovative strategies will be developed to improve performance using CFD and experimental measurements. Innovative simulation and measurement expertise existing within the fluid dynamics group at Waterloo will be utilized in this project in conjunction with the technical know-how and skill set of the Swirltex team to produce the next generation of Swirltex tubular membranes for industry.
