V3V study and large eddy simulation of turbulence characteristics in a stirred vessel with Rushton turbine impeller
The volumetric three-component velocimetry (V3V) measurements and the large eddy simulation (LES) were used to study the flow field near the standard Rushton impeller in a stirred vessel. The results of V3V indicate that the Reynolds number has almost no influence on the normalized phase-resolved velocity and TKE when the flow field is absolutely turbulent. The structure and movement law of trailing vortices are discussed by reconstruction of the three-dimensional flow field with V3V. The distributions of radial
axial and tangential velocities in 30℃ross-section behind the impeller were analyzed. The distributions of vortex pair by V3V were in good agreement with these by 2D-PIV (particle image velocimetry)
however the vorticity by V3V is about 37.5% larger. LES method was used to simulate flow field in stirred tank with Rushton turbine impeller. The velocity distribution and trailing trajectory of LES results are in good agreement with the 2D-PIV and V3V data. Complete structure of the trailing vortices had been obtained and a vortex
which is similar with trailing vortices
was discovered near the up surface of the impeller.
