摘要
A model describing two-dimensional transient mixing phenomena of a single-phase fluid within a stirred tank has been developed. The model employs a k-epsilon turbulence model and uses Lagrangian tracer particles as indicators of mixing behavior. Calculations over a relatively coarse (20 x 30) mesh containing 4800 tracer particles are capable of producing a realistic depiction of slurry mixing behavior in a large-scale industrial vessel.
