Abstract
Abstract
In this paper, the transient MRF approach coupled with the standard k-ε and SST k-ω turbulence models was employed to study the effect of bottom shape, impeller diameter (D
J) and bottom height (H
2) on critical impeller off-bottom clearance (C). It was found the bottom shape and bottom height (H
2) have obvious influence on the flow pattern transition from double-loop to single-loop of RT impeller. The flow pattern transition mechanism was inferred to relate to the relationship between the space required by the lower circulation zone and the actual space. The boundary conditions of critical C were further concluded to help distinguish the flow pattern and receive the expected one in the stirred vessel design.

Abstract
The solid particle suspension inside a flotation machine is significantly dependent on the flow field, particularly the flow hydrodynamics characteristics near the bottom of the flotation machine. In this study, a laser Doppler anemometer (LDA) was utilized to investigate the influence of the impeller diameter and the impeller off-bottom clearance of a flotation machine on the flow velocity distribution characteristics near its bottom. The results showed that centripetal, centrifugal, and transitional spiral ascending vortexes were generated for different cases of the impeller variables. The impeller diameter and the off-bottom clearance were found to have a significant and interactive influence on the flow pattern, radial and axial velocities, velocity vector distribution, and axial fluctuating root mean square (RMS) velocity characteristics. When the centripetal flow was generated with a large impeller diameter and a small off-bottom clearance, the vortex stability was improved, the low-velocity distribution area was reduced near the bottom center, and the high axial RMS velocity distribution area was extended and became more consistent. The latter provided an advantageous condition for the momentum transfer between the liquid flow and the solid particles, as well as the airflow. However, the axial RMS velocity in the centrifugal flow formed in other cases of the impeller variables was less than that in the centripetal flow. Although the increase in the impeller off-bottom clearance contributed to increasing the velocity magnitude, this is certainly disadvantageous to the service life of the impeller blades, as expected from the high-velocity area extension. These results may provide a reference for the impeller design and optimization of a KYF (Kuang Yuan Flotation) flotation machine, as well as a basis for further investigation on the behavior of the dispersed phases inside a flow field.

CFD Study on the Flow Field and Power Characteristics in a Rushton Turbine Stirred Tank in Laminar Regime. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL REACTOR ENGINEERING 2019.

Abstract
Abstract
A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation was performed to study the hydrodynamics characteristics in a Rushton turbine stirred tank in laminar regime. The effects of operating condition, working medium and geometrical parameter on the flow field and power number characteristics were investigated. It is found that the two-loop flow pattern is formed in laminar regime when the impeller is not very close to tank bottom, while its shape and size vary with Reynolds number and impeller diameter. For a given geometrical configuration, the flow pattern, power number and dimensionless velocity profile are mainly depended on Reynolds number, and do not change with working medium and scale-up for a constant Reynolds number. When impeller off-bottom clearance is too low and Reynolds number is relatively high, the fluid flow would transit from two-loop flow pattern to sing-loop flow pattern as that occurs in turbulent regime. Power number falls for larger impeller in laminar regime. Surprisingly, in laminar regime, power number in the baffled tank with small impeller is almost identical to that in the unbaffled tank.
