3D Numerical Simulation of Inner Flow in a Mixed-Flow Stirred Reactor

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on the principle and method of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), using the software, FLUENT, the inner flow field in a mixed-flow stirred reactor was simulated and the flow details were studied roundly. This article analyzed the three-dimensional velocity field distribution and testified the reliability of numerical simulation to a certain extent. The simulated effect was proved effective. The results of this paper provided a good base and reference for the further research of the stirred reactor.
