Rotationally reciprocating mixing, in which a plate impeller slowly rotates back and forth for only half a rotation, shows excellent fluid mixing performance at Re > 40. On the other hand, since vertical flow disappears at Re < 10, two-dimensional fluid mixing proceeds in the horizontal cross section of a cylindrical vessel, producing segmented mixing regions with a …

A hybrid method for the simulation of Reynolds-averaged turbulent flows in axial flow impeller driven mixing vessels is described. The time-mean flow in the impeller region is modelled using blade element theory, while the flow in the remainder of the vessel is simulated using a second-order finite-volume Reynolds-averaged numerical scheme.
