This paper presents CFD results of a qualitative mixing analysis of standpipes with various inlet
configurations, inlet momentum, and temperature differentials to illustrate the impact of buoyant jets
on the mixing processes within standpipes. The standpipe being analyzed is a 1.5MG tank, 53 feet in
diameter with a maximum water depth of 94 feet. Simulated tracer distributions are shown to
illustrate the movement of fresh water being introduced into the standpipe under these variant
conditions. A case study of a 1.3MG standpipe in Dennis, Massachusetts is presented. Temperature
data was collected in 2000 and 2001, before and after an inlet/outlet pipe modification. The data
illustrates the existence of thermal stratification and its elimination after the piping modification. Includes 3 references, table, figures.
