Abstract:Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to assess the flow patterns and mixing characteristics of highly viscous fluids in a dynamic mixer. The simulated concentration distribution was validated by the data measured using planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF). The refractive indices of the two fluids and the transparent solid material comprising the mixer were matched to minimize the bending of sent and received light. The simulated concentration fields agreed well with the measured concentration fields… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
