Vortex generating mechanism study

管式膜广泛应用于废水处理、石油天然气、采矿、林业和工业等领域，用于废水和污染物的分离。根据这项提案，滑铁卢大学的流体动力学专家将与Swirltex Inc.合作。(“Swirltex”)，一家加拿大涡流管式膜的技术开发商。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流程进行彻底的文献回顾。在第二阶段，将使用计算模拟(CFD)来了解管膜中的流动以及控制性能的重要变量。然后，将利用CFD和实验测量来开发改进性能的创新策略。滑铁卢流体动力学组现有的创新模拟和测量专业知识将与Swirltex团队的技术诀窍和技能组合一起用于该项目，以生产用于工业的下一代涡流管式膜。

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.
