Optimum inlet velocity
Optimum inlet velocity
(OP)
Is there any software or formula to calculate the optimum velocity for water to swirl with out any vortex in a tall and larger diameter tank ?
Thanks

There must be some kind of model for this flow.
Thanks

Increase the diameter as you move vertically to increase unit tangential flow area, thereby reducing tangential velocity. But, as the flow moves from tangent to center, it will likely increase velocity in the radial direction. Can you provide a sloped dish plate for it to climb and thereby slow it down as it moves to the center.

The baffles were attached to the accept zone and the wall. The reject funnel or the zone is not an issue.
I have a video file but could not upload (6.8 MB) for some reason. I get the following message

The swirling motion helps eliminate motorized skimmers and associated equipment.
Once the fluid enters the cell tangentially, the fluid start going towards the center after the first circle and keep following towards that path till it hits the center pipe. You are right and the velocity goes down significantly. As long as it does not stay still and occupy space it is ok for this process.
Thanks
