Mixing processes are essential in the chemical process industries, including food processors, consumer products corporations, and pharmaceutical manufacturers. The increased use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) during the design and analysis of static and stirred mixers has provided increased insight into mixing processes. However, the velocities, temperatures, and pressures are insufficient to completely quantify a mixing process. Amore complete understanding of mixing processes is given by the material spatial distribution of massless particles as they move through the flow field.

“…Using these bins, two quantities of interest are generated, the volume coverage, which is defined as the total number of bins containing a particle divided by the total number of bins, and the variance between the number of particles in the bins. The variance is calculated as shown in equation 2.4 (Liu et al, 1998).…”

Virtual reality (VR) has the potential to enable visualization of complex physical phenomena in their natural spatial scales and significantly improve the product development process. Virtual environments provide a tool for users to interact with three-dimensional models using intuitive methods in their natural spatial scales. This paper presents the implementation details of a virtual environment combining surround-screen virtual reality technology and particle tracing of massless particles to explore the benefits these tools bring to engineers seeking to understand the complex fluid behavior present in mixing processes. The implementation of interaction methods, including volume data selection using a convex hull approach, cutting plane generation, and the integration of a tablet PC as a user interface, will be presented. Design and technical details involved with the interaction methods will be discussed along with the resulting interactive virtual environment. Disciplines Mechanical Engineering Comments
