ABSTRACT
Designed structure for collecting the waste-on-the-flow is placed along the channel or in the sewer to trap the floating
waste on the flow. The operating principle of this design is usage of the guide vanes or the curved mesh for the purpose
of generating circular current to pull the floating wastes before transporting them to the waste dump. The shapes,
dimensions of this structure have been designed based on the flow regime simulated the numerical model. From the
simulated results, a structural model is set in laboratory to verify the numerical model as well as to evaluate the waste
collection efficiency. There are three types of structure, type I is used to collect the waste at 90-degree cut-bank channel,
type II is for wastes along the straight channel while type III is used to collect the floating waste in sewer. Experimental
results showed that type I could help to collect from 70%-80%, type II from 60%-70% while type III could make it 100%
of floating wastes..

The dimensions of structure and the parameters of flow
used in the numerical model is implemented in the
laboratory shown in fig.2.
The boundary conditions for structure type 1 includes
flow velocity of 0,1 m/s at the inlet and the outlet of
structure and the water depth in channel is 18 cm. The
computed domain is composed by 22727 elements as

The structure type III includes a part of extended pipe
for waste collecting. In this area, there is a round shape
mesh to generate the circular current and to pull the
floating waste to one side of the mesh, and waste is no
longer hanging on mesh which can help water to move
easily. The structure type III is illustrated in fig.4
