The turbulence observed in the stirred tank is a result of the superposition of flows at different scales, each exerting various influences on the operational processes. To understand the flow characteristics associated with stirring, this paper undertakes particle image velocimetry (PIV) experimental research on an unbaffled tank stirred by an open turbine featuring four distinct blade deflection angles. The flow field in the unbaffled tank manifests as a double‐circulation flow pattern; however, it is worth noting that the blade deflection angle exerts a significant impact on the stirring process. Specifically, when the blade deflection angle reached 90°, the flow discharge aligned closely with the radial direction, accompanied by pronounced fluctuations in the high‐velocity region. The Lagrangian coherent structures (LCS) formed were subsequently extracted and subjected to finite‐time Lyapunov exponent (FTLE) analysis. Notably, a more regular wake pattern emerged in proximity to the blade tip, while a larger scale flow structure persisted along the flow direction. To systematically analyze the flow field stirred by the open turbine, modal analysis was employed. By reconstructing the flow field based on the principle of 50% energy content, the decomposition of flows at different scales was achieved. The turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) generated by the various scale flows was subsequently calculated, revealing that the high TKE values primarily originate from the large‐scale flow structure. Conversely, the TKE generated by the small‐scale flow exhibits a uniform distribution across different regions. Notably, in regions characterized by higher velocities, the peak TKE associated with the small‐scale flow also manifests; however, it is significantly smaller in magnitude compared to that generated by the original flow or the large‐scale flow.
