Abstract

AbstractLaminar flow structure and mixing patterns in stirred tanks with eccentrically located impellers is examined using tracer visualization techniques and laser induced fluorescence (LIF). The displacement of the shaft from the centerline of the tank has a remarkable effect on the manifold structure of the flow: segregated regions of regular motion observed in concentric systems are destroyed, impeller mid‐plane separatrices are eliminated, and the axial circulation is greatly improved even in systems agitated even by radial impellers.
