Performance of Helical Ribbon and Screw Impellers for Mixing Viscous Fluids in Cylindrical Reactors

The present paper deals with the mixing of a highly viscous fluid by close-clearance impellers in cylindrical vessels. The study is performed via numerical simulations. Calculations are achieved by the discretization of continuity and momentum equations with the finite volume method. The effect of b...
