Center of Engineering and Multiscale modeling of Fluid flow
You see an OpenFOAM simulation of a single phase stirred tank reactor using AMI technique. This simulation is performed to find the residence time distribution (RTD) in a stirred tank reactor. In the design and scale-up of chemical reactors, the residence time distribution of fluid particles inside the reactor should…
In this tutorial you will learn how to setup a particle tracing system to obtain the residence time distribution of flow in a T-channel. This method can essentially be applied in conjunction with any incompressible solver, like icoFoam, pisoFoam, pimpleFoam and etc.
