A new aproach to characterize suspensions in stirred vessels based on computational fluid dynamics
Fluid dynamics simulations were applied for evaluating the suspension of particles in stirred vessels. The spatial distribution of particles throughout the vessel was characterized by a single parameter, here called the suspension quality (s). Based on simulation results, a semi-empirical correlatio...
