Single and multiphase CFD approaches for modelling partially baffled stirred vessels: comparison of experimental data with numerical predictions [PDF]
Whilst the use of CFD to study mixing vessels is now common-place, there are still many specialised applications that are yet to be addressed. Here we present CFD and PIV results for a hydrodynamic study of a partially baffled vessel with a free surface.
