Study on fluid velocity distribution in a stirred tank by method of numerical simulation

Pang Xiang

Abstract

A numerical simulation model of a stirred tank with PY type impeller in active service has been established by CFD method The results of CFD show good agreement with these of the LDV experiment The research on actual high velocity fluid field in the stirred tank indicates that the position and the rotate speed of impeller as well as product property are main influencing factors for distributing of flow field in the stirred tank The conclusion can provide a help to optimize design and management for high velocity fluid stirred tank
