Abstract
If fresh water and salt water are separated by a membrane, the fresh water would flow across the membrane from fresh water chamber to salt water chamber in a forward osmosis process. Forward osmosis and reverse osmosis processes have been used for many new applications like wastewater treatment, food processing industry, and desalination of seawater. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software, viz., FLUENT software is used for simulating FO process. The water moved across the membrane from fresh water side to salt water chamber indicating that FO was well represented by FLUENT.
