Flow Pattern in the Vicinity of Gas-Liquid Interface in a Stirred Cell
Three dimensional turbulent flow was measured in the vicinity of gas-liquid interface using Laser Doppler Anemometer. The measurements were made in a 100 mm i.d. stirred cell with a flat interface. Mean and rms velocities were measured at seven radial and three axial locations. The effect of liquid viscosity on the flow pattern was investigated. These measurements form a first step in validating the published theories on mass transfer.
