“…It is well known from the literature that large eddy simulation (LES) can predict excellently the time-averaged mean and turbulence flows (Derksen, 2001;Revstedt et al 1998, Yeoh et al, 2004Hartmann et al, 2004;Li et al, 2007;Jahoda et al, 2007;Tyagi et al, 2007;Yapici et al, 2008). It is also possible to solve the turbulence flow in stirred tanks directly using the exact Navier-Stokes equations without any modelling, but this requires a grid and time step that resolves even the smallest eddies.…”

“…Although the development of mixing processes is nowadays based mostly on CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) where the LES (Large Eddy Simulation) approach is commonly used e.g. [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], the DNS (Direct Numerical Simulation) approach is also under development [6]. The large part of published results in this field were summarised in [7], [8].…”

“…They consist of a strong primary loop in the impeller discharge region and a smaller secondary loop below the impeller. Usually, the flow field generated by down-pumping multiple impellers with large values of impeller separation (also known as S/H values) is such that the downward discharge and circulation loops are well defined for each impeller as in studies conducted by [25] [26]. However, in the present study, it is observed that the loops are more pronounced in the discharge region of the lower impeller.…”
