Simulation of Static Mixer
A static mixer is a precision engineered device for the continuous mixing of fluid materials. Normally the fluids to be mixed are liquid, but static mixers can also be used to mix gas streams, disperse gas into liquid or blend immiscible liquids.
Simulation was performed using icoFoam as a transient solver. Geometry and Meshing was done using Salome Meca. A coarse mesh was used for this simulation. Turbulence models have not been implemented , but will be done sooner on an improved simulation.
