Experimental and Computational Investigation of Vortex Formation in a Single-Stage Rushton Turbine Stirred Tank Reactor Under Standard and Non-Standard Baffle Configurations

An understanding of vortex formation in stirred tank reactors is of great importance, as in some processes, vortices are necessary for a chemical reaction to take place at all or to be accelerated, whilst in other processes, vortex formation is undesirable and can cause high mechanical stresses on the stirrer shaft, se...
