“…Stirring vessels are devices that find extensive applications particularly in chemical, food and biological process industries. Nowadays, numerical simulations are completed with experimental study to construct a better knowledge about the flow characteristics in a stirred vessel [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Various methods and techniques may be employed when achieving experimental study.…”

Turbulent flow inside a cylindrical baffled stirred vessel is studied experimentally for different Reynolds numbers. A set of speed was selected ranging from 100 rpm to 350 rpm. These speeds gave high turbulence but without significant surface vortex formation. Vector field's maps and contours of time averaged velocities, for both radial and axial components in the impeller stream of a vessel stirred by a Rushton turbine, were determined by means of 2D PIV technique. This study reveals the importance of choosing the whole flow field of the entire vessel in order to provide comprehensive understanding of the flow pattern and mixing conditions which is essential for reliable design.

“…used the PIV technique to calculate the velocity field generated by a Rushton turbine. Driss et al (2012) studied the seeding particle mass quantity effect in the PIV measurement in a stirred vessel equipped with a Rushton turbine. Simultaneously, pitched blade turbine is widely investigated with experimental works in the literature.…”
