Computer simulation of the aggregates formation during flocculation process

Abstract

The main goal of this paper is to analyse physical and chemical aspects affecting the structure and strength of flocs, which are created during coagulation and flocculation of water impurities, from the point of view of process computer simulation. Proposed mathematical dependencies were used for computer modelling of the process as well as visualisation of the obtained results. The results of algorithms operation and visualization were shown as graphical representation. Laboratory studies were carried out to check the realism of the proposed algorithm.
