title: Application of numerical simulation on optimum design of two-dimensional sedimentation tanks in the wastewater treatment plant.
abstract: The paper establishes the relationship between the settling efficiency and the sizes of the sedimentation tank through the process of numerical simulation, which is taken as one of the constraints to set up a simple optimum designing model of sedimentation tank. The feasibility and advantages of this model based on numerical calculation are verified through the application of practical case.
