A review on numerical consideration for computational fluid dynamics modeling of jet mixing tanks

Abstract

Over two decades or so, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling of various jet mixing tank configurations was developed and published. Further, the studies of various parameters used in experimental and CFD works were also reviewed to obtain the optimal design procedure. However, the numerical setup for jet mixing tank modeling was not studied and reported. Hence, in this review paper, the important numerical setup for CFD simulation of jet mixing tanks, including numerical solution techniques, turbulence model selection, boundary conditions, numerical methods, solution strategy, and CFD grid, are clearly demonstrated to achieve the comprehensive CFD modeling guideline for jet mixing tank. Further, the validations for jet mixing tank models are also represented.
