<p>The CFD cross-sections from the simulations
were extracted from two positions. The CFD data needed for the comparison to
the experiment were taken at the outer wall of the model to match the
perspective of the video.</p>
<p>The second position used in the CFD
comparison of a rectangular versus a cylindrical tank were at the center of the
impeller where the dynamics were most clear. The zero point was at the center
of the 3D models, where X=0, Y=0 and Z=0. </p>
<p>The figure names contain the location at
which the cross-sections was taken from, the relevant model, i.e. turbulent dissipation
rate, turbulent kinetic energy, velocity magnitude, velocity vectors, solids
suspension in terms of volume fraction (VF), 3D volume fraction renderings and
the rotational velocity in terms of revolutions per minute (RPM).</p>
The superimposed data figures names contain the
VF that indicates the CFD function volume fraction, the rotational velocity (RPM),
the time interval in seconds and SI to show the data was superimposed
