Effects of baffle length on turbulent flows generated in stirred vessels
Tóm tắt
The aim of this paper is to study the effect of baffles length on the turbulent flows in stirred tanks. The hydrodynamic behaviour induced by a Rushton turbine (RT6) is numerically predicted by solving the Navier-Stokes equations in conjunction with the Renormalization Group (RNG) of the k-ɛ turbulence model. These equations are solved by a control volume discretization method. The numerical results from the application of the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code Fluent with the multi-reference frame (MRF) model are presented in the vertical and horizontal planes in the impeller stream region. Our studies were carried out on three different systems. The most effective system was selected based on its calculated power consumption figure. All numerical results showed good agreement with experimental data.
