FlowKit Ltd.: Static demo mixer

A static mixer is a device for mixing two fluid materials. It consists of a series of baffles, contained in a cylindrical or squared housing. As the two fluid streams move through the mixer, the non-moving elements continuously blend the materials.

The video below shows a model mixer which we use here for the sake of illustration. This mixer is very similar to industrial mixers, but has subtile design flaws that are predicted here by computer simulation. The mixer consists of a sequence of 6 elements which blend the fluids in successively crossed space directions. This relative crossing of the elements is illustrated in the video.
