    The present paper shows the effect of jet discharge velocity profile (or jet nozzle configuration) on CFD simulation of an open 45° inclined side entry pump-around jet mixing tank. The CFD model was carefully developed by using appropriate grid arrangement, boundary conditions, and numerical methods. The two different jet discharge velocity profiles, including top hat and fully developed profiles, were simulated by using the inlet mass flow rate of about 0.22 kg·s<sup>-1</sup>. The overall mixing times and normalized concentration profiles predicted by two different jet discharge velocity profiles were compared with the previous reliable experimental data. The results revealed that the different jet discharge velocity profiles resulted in different jet flow and mixing patterns inside the vessels.

    This paper presents the appropriate turbulence model for predicting the overall mixing time inside an open 45° inclined side entry pump-around jet mixing tank with moderate jet Reynolds number of about 17,515. The model was carefully developed by using appropriate hexahedral grid arrangement and proper numerical methods. The two different k-epsilon turbulence models, including realizable k-epsilon model and low Reynolds number k-epsilon model, were simulated. The overall mixing times predicted by these turbulence models were compared with the previous data reported by Patwardhan (Chem. Eng. Sci. 57 (2002) 1307-1318). The results revealed that the low Reynolds number k-epsilon model was a suitable model for predicting the overall mixing time of jet mixing tank with moderate jet Reynolds number.
