Simulation of Flow and Transport in a Static Mixer Using Adaptive and Higher Order Numerical Methods

  • Chapter
Micro and Macro Mixing

Part of the book series: Heat and Mass Transfer ((HMT))

Abstract

We simulate flow and mixing in a Sulzer static mixer with a complex geometry utilizing adaptive mesh refinement strategies for a node based Finite Volume method and an arbitrary order Discontinuous Galerkin method. Performance of both schemes is compared and tested using experimental results and some additional benchmark problems.
