Abstract

Abstract: The 3D flow field generated by a dual-impeller in the agitation of glycerin fluid was simulated using the commercial CFD package. The flow was modeled as laminar and a multiple reference frame (MRF) approach was used to solve the discretized equations of motion. The velocity profiles with a dual-impeller rotating at constant speed of 200r/min and at different layer clearances were obtained. By analysis to their axial and radial velocity vector plots and velocity distribution curves, it is found that the velocity distributions of the dual 6-bladed radial disc turbines (2-6DT) are better when the clearance is bigger or equal to the T/2, accompanied with the flow field pattern of parallel flow. Moreover,when the clearance is smaller or equal to the T/3, there are more advantages for 6-bladed radial disc turbines + pitch 4-bladed turbines (6DT+PTB) than other combinations,followed by the flow field pattern of connected flow.
