Effects of water inlet configuration in a service reservoir applying CFD modelling

En este estudio se evaluo mediante simulacion numerica la influencia del cambio en la configuracion de entrada de agua sobre el patron de flujo, condiciones de mezcla y decaimiento del cloro residual libre en un tanque de compensacion de una red de distribucion de agua potable. Se establecieron cuatro escenarios, tres presentaron diferencias en el nivel de agua y velocidad de flujo y el cuarto escenario evaluo la influencia de la configuracion de entrada, el flujo de momento y nivel del agua sobre las condiciones hidrodinamicas en el tanque de compensacion. La distribucion de cuatro boquillas de 152,4mm de diametro fue identificada como una medida viable para preservar la calidad del agua en este tipo de estructuras hidraulicas.
