A Computer Vision Approach toward Verifying CFD Models of Stirred Tank Reactors

Mixing is one of the most important nonchemical considerations in the design of scalable processes. While noninvasive imaging approaches to deliver a quantifiable understanding of mixing dynamics are well-known, the use of imaging to verify computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models remains in its infancy. Herein, we use colorimetric reactions and our kinetic imaging software,
