Design: Validation of a drop shaft design using CFD
Issues
How to validate the design of dropshaft efficiently ?
A dropshaft is a vertical conduit used to transport water or wastewater from a higher elevation to a lower one, often in sewer systems. Careful modeling is essential to prevent excessive turbulence, air entrainment, and structural wear. Optimized design ensures efficient performance while minimizing construction and maintenance costs.
Proposed solution
Design validation using CFD
Visualisation of the structure in operation in its hydraulic environment
Diagnosis of operation and optimisation proposals
- Simulation of optimisation scenarios for the structure
Benefits
Analysis prior to 3D hydraulic modelling to carry out an initial optimisation of the structure
Diagnosis of the operation of the structure carried out by experts in collaboration with the company in charge of construction
Simulation of scenarios for optimising construction or operating costs using simple civil engineering adjustments
