Laminar Flow

In static mixers, also called motionless or in-line mixers, a fluid is pumped through a pipe containing stationary blades. This mixing technique is particularly well suited for laminar flow mixing because it generates only small pressure losses in this flow regime. This example studies the flow in a twisted-blade static mixer. The mixing of one

Modeling Static Mixers

by Fanny Griesmer November 9, 2012 A mixer that doesn’t move may sound like an oxymoron, but it’s not. Used in various chemical species transport applications, modeling static mixers are inexpensive, accurate, and versatile. Still, there is always room for improvement. Optimizing the design of static mixers calls for computer modeling, but traditional CFD methods may
