CFD in Mixing Technology
What is CFD ?

 

  • Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) represents an approved approach within the realm of fluid mechanics. Its widespread application is evident in industries such as automotive, aircraft, process, and mixing.
  • The primary objective of CFD is to address fluid flow-related inquiries by leveraging numerical techniques. The governing equations typically revolve around principles like Navier-Stokes, Euler, or potential-based equations.

 

Flow Simulation at Verito

 

  • Verito leverages cutting-edge Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technology, alongside laboratory experiments and field trials, to design, scale-up, enhance, or modernize agitators and mixing systems.
  • Verito’s engineers utilize CFD technology to gain an in-depth understanding of velocity distribution, flow patterns, areas with low velocity (referred to as dead zones, as illustrated in Figures 1, 2 & 3), as well as regions with both low and high shear rates within various mixing system configurations.
  • This enables the testing of multiple system setups and tank agitator designs to achieve optimal performance. Additionally, CFD technology aids Verito in fine-tuning impeller blade designs to strike a balance between power requirements and pumping capacity.
