Power curve simulation in a stirred tank by using CFD

Zhong Alan Li

Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

The power curve in a stirred tank was simulated by means of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques. Different methods were employed for various Reynolds numbers. The Multiple Frames of Reference (MFR) method was adopted for the simulation. The calculated power curve is consistent with the literature data. Three different methods were used for the simulation of the transition flow region. The simulation result shows that the power number, which was calculated by different methods in this region, is closed to each other.
