Numerical simulation of hydrodynamics of a Couette-Taylor contactor in two-phase liquid-liquid systems
The objective of this work was investigation of the hydrodynamics of the flow in Couette-Taylor flow (CTF) in the liquid-liquid system using the computational fluid dynamics software Fluent 6. Characteristic parameters for CTF such as the length of the Taylor vortex pair, axial translation velocity of the vortices and the Kolmogoroff micro-scale were estimated.
