The unique hydraulic characteristics in oxidation ditch have a close relation with the quality of treated water, the design and optimization of the oxidation ditch. The experimentally validated numerical tools, based on computational fluid dynamics(CFD), were proposed. Sewage- sludge two-phase model and liquid-gas two-phase model of an oxidation ditch were built through CFD numerical method. Meanwhile, a velocity field measurement was enforced on the ditch by Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter(ADV). The simulated results and experimental data were in good correspondence, which verify the simulation methods are reasonable and the simulation results are acceptable. The combination of simulation and experimrntal measurement has profound influence on the hydraulic optimization of oxidation ditch. 3D simulation could be a good supplement for improving the hydrodynamic performance in oxidation ditch designs.
