Using The Computational Fluid Dynamic Software To Mixing Process Modeling In The Industrial Scale Vessel With Side-Mounted Agitator

Abstract

The effects of the mesh size and time step size on CFD modeling results have been studied. The numerical modeling results present the flow distribution of velocity fields inside the industrial scale vessel of 30 $\mathrm{m}^{3}$ equipped with a sidemounted agitator. For the turbulent fluid flow modeling the “realizable $\mathrm{k}-\varepsilon$” model and Sliding Mesh approach implemented in the ANSYS Fluent software were used for transient simulation. The optimal installation values for transient modeling parameters for the mixing process realized in Ansys Fluent software were proposed.
