Numerical Simulation of the Effect of Spoiler Ribs on the Flow Field in Household Soymilk Maker

Abstract

The spoiler rib is a auxiliary structure of non mesh enclosure soy milk maker, it plays an important role in the process of crushing soybean. In this paper, we designed an orthogonal experiment according to different structure parameter of the spoiler ribs. By using the numerical simulation method, we can get the law of the flow field. We analysised the velocity, turbulence intensity distribution roles in the flow field of different rib's structure parameter, the model of power consumption. Finally, the optimal solutions were found by numerical orthogonal experimental design method in a several turn.

Numerical Simulation of Flow Field in Pulper Cavity

“…Numerical simulation can display the flow field inside the cavity more comprehensively and has the advantages of low cost, speediness and short period [4] . Torre et al [5][6] simulated and numerically predicted the transient fluid dynamics and free surface shape in the stopping process of agitator by CFD, and the experimental results showed a high agreement between the experiment and the simulation.…”
