According to the CFD
simulation results, the structures and positions of flow baffles in the draft-tube were optimized to
obtain the uniform flow rate distribution in the quench zone, which were verified by experiments as
well.
In order to highlight the effect of flow baffles on the flow rate in a quench tank, the CFD simulation has been carried out for the flow rate distribution without / with flow baffles, and the flow rates were measured by a UDV to verify the simulation results as well.
Results of CFD simulation.
In order to obtain the uniform flow rate distribution, CFD simulations had been performed for many design cases with different structures and positions of the flow baffles in the quench tank.
Although discrepancy exists, the CFD simulation can exhibit the actual tendency of the flow rate distribution in the quenching zone to some extent.

The effects of mixing intensity and product removal location on solid concentration distribution in the crystallizer were studied by CFD simulation with multiphase model for different sizes of particles.
With the development of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology, the CFD was considered as a powerful tool for predicting the solid suspension by using multi-phase simulation [4].
The size-dependent classification function was also studied for a crystallizer with the multi-phase CFD simulation by Sha [7].
However, there were only a few works done to describe solid suspension on the continuously operated system with CFD simulation [9].
Conclusion CFD simulation was applied for the study of solid concentration distribution in a continuously operated DTB crystallizer.

CFD is also a approximate calculation, this feature itself means it can not used to get a very exact root for torque converter real characteristic, it also need test to optimize simulation boundary[3].
(4) Model solver: Large eddy simulation is the top priority simulation solver due to its fast convergence speed and high accuracy characteristic for transient flow field[4]. 4 CFD Simulation and Test All the torque in individual wheel of torque converter is originated from circulation difference between inlet and outlet, in some curtain situation, the sum of all wheel torque will be zero
(1) It can predict based on the rule above that all the 3 wheels torque sum vector shall be zero during CFD simulation, this characteristic can be considered as a very important criterion which is used to evaluate simulation accuracy, if the torque sum vector is not zero, it mean there is calculation deviation from CFD, the smaller the deviation the more accuracy it is.
Figure 5 CFD simulation comparison with test data 5 Summary (1) The article optimized CFD simulation to hydraulic torque converter and pointed out some critical dominant factors influence to accuracy, they are grid generation quality, oil viscosity and density relationship with temperature variety, gravity, pressure drop and solver definition
(2) Based on torque converter characteristic of all wheel torque vector sum zero, this article compared CFD simulation before and after improvement with measured data, finally draw a conclusion optimized CFD simulation can get a much closer accuracy to practical one effectively.

In the past decades, little research was carried on about the APR, especially the simulation studies.
In the present simulation, the shear-stress transport (SST) - turbulence model is usually adopted as the turbulence model.
Calculations with different mesh distributions and quantities are carried out to demonstrate that the simulation results are grid independent.
Another reason is that, as known to all, there exists variance in the CFD simulation.
A few conclusions can be drawn based on the simulation results and shown as follows: 1.
