Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of fluid mixing experiment testing. For the display of fluid mixing flow fields, in a solid-liquid mixed multiphase flow system, through this method, a motion trajectory diagram of particles in the flow field can be obtained. Background Art
[0002] The stirring process plays an important role in the production processes of various fields such as chemical engineering, biology, food, and pharmaceuticals, and is of great significance for ensuring the quality and output of products. During the fluid chaotic mixing process, a complex flow scenario is formed, and the flow field usually involves complex fluid dynamics phenomena such as eddies and vortices. Flow field visualization is indeed very important for the understanding of chaotic systems. Through visualization techniques, people can intuitively observe complex phenomena such as the movement, turbulence, and vortices of fluids in the stirring process, and can observe and analyze the complex dynamic behaviors in the fluid system, which helps to reveal the laws and patterns behind chaotic phenomena and thus understand fluid behavior more deeply. This is crucial for aspects such as studying fluid mechanics and optimizing system design. Through flow field visualization techniques, the stirring flow field can be observed and analyzed, thereby optimizing the stirring process, improving the mixing efficiency, and ensuring product quality.
[0003] Therefore, to observe complex phenomena such as the movement, turbulence, and vortices of fluids in the stirring process, people use a method combining experiments and simulations to study the flow field structure.

However, these technologies visualize the single-phase flow field and cannot track the movement trajectories of solid particles in the multiphase flow, resulting in the simulation being unable to be experimentally verified.
