The objectives of this research were to evaluate the pressurized/the main inlet water flowrate ratio which have been used as the most important parameter for operating the pump diffusion mixer until now, to suggest the alternative operating parameter and the relating criteria if the flowrate ratio was not inadequate. For the objectives of this research, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation was conducted for 21 cases of flowrate ratio in full-scaled pump diffusion mixer. From the results of CFD simulation, the local velocity gradient values were calculated in each case in order to analyze the simulation results in more detail. For verifying CFD simulation, wet test was conducted. The wet test was to measure the factual coagulant dispersion distribution at a distance of 5.4m from deflector. From both results of CFD simulation and wet test, flowrate ratio was inadequate as operating parameter or criteria, on the other hand the pressurized/the main inlet velocity ratio(dimensionless) was useful in predicting the performance of pump diffusion mixer. Also, the injected coagulant could be dispersed evenly in overall cross section on the condition that pressurized/the main inlet velocity ratio(dimensionless) is over at least 20.

급속 혼화공정에서 응집제의 동력학적 수화반응 특성을 고려하여 1초 이내의 순간혼합을 제시하고 있으며, 이러한 이론에 근거하여 설치된 Pump Diffusion Mixer(PDM)의 관내 응집제 확산 분포특성을 조사하였다. D=1,200mm 관경에서 압력수 유량비에 따라 응집제 주입지점으로부터 4.5D되는 지점에서 관 단면의 지점별 제타 전위를 측정하여 평가한 결과, 압력수의 유량비가 2%에서는 분사속도가 낮아 관 단면에 응집제가 골고루 분사되지 못하는 것으로 조사되었다. 그러나 압력수 유량비가 4% 이상이 되면 비교적 균등하게 혼합되며, 8%에서는 관 단면 전체에 균등하게 확산 분포되는 것으로 나타났다.
