CFD modelling of turbulent macromixing in stirred tanks. Effect of the probe size and number on mixing indices.
A numerical, CFD based approach to model the batch macromixing process in stirred tanks is presented Simulation method of the effects of the probe size and number on various mixing indices is described in details. The method is successfully validated with the help of published experimental data. The investigated probe effects are estimated and discussed for both the exhaustive and random sampling of the liquid mixture. important conclusions referring to the experimental and numerical studies of the process are also specified.
