Simulating an Industrial Mixing Tank with CONVERGE
CONVERGE’s autonomous meshing and volume of fluid (VOF) modeling allowed us to accurately and efficiently simulate an industrial mixing tank. At each simulation time-step, CONVERGE regenerates a stationary mesh to accommodate the moving geometry without deforming the mesh. To maintain a sharp liquid-air interface, we employed CONVERGE’s High Resolution Interface Capturing (HRIC) scheme. In addition, Adaptive Mesh Refinement adds cells when and where necessary to help resolve the fluid interface. In CONVERGE, you can alter your geometry without having to set up your case again, so you can easily test different geometries to assess key parameters such as mixing efficiency, mechanical loading on the impeller, and power requirements.
Convergent Science's CONVERGE is an innovative computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software that eliminates the grid generation bottleneck from the simulation process through autonomous meshing.
