These FLOW-3D HYDRO simulations are comparing two serpentine contact tank designs. A scalar, or tracer dye, is introduced at the inlet of both tanks in order to compare dye distribution as the flow travels through the tanks. This is illustrated by coloring the fluid with the percentage of dye. On the upper right, we have a graph comparing the dye content at the outlet for each design, also known as a residence time distribution (RTD) curve.
