It should be noted that the limitation of "at least" mentioned in the present disclosure includes the number itself, and the same applies below. For example, "at least two" includes the case where the number is two.

[0092] S103, performing model simplification processing on each of the geometric models, and extracting the fluid region that needs to be calculated.

[0093] In this embodiment, each of the geometric models is simplified and the fluid region to be calculated is extracted. Specifically, each of the geometric models is imported into the SpaceClaim function module of ANSYS (computer-aided engineering software, also known as CAE software) for model simplification and the fluid region to be calculated is extracted.

[0094] S105, dividing each of the geometric models into finite element grids, and performing encryption processing on the local area of ​​the stirring blade of each of the geometric models to obtain a grid file of each of the geometric models.

[0095] In one of the embodiments, the step of dividing each geometric model into a finite element mesh is specifically as follows: using an unstructured tetrahedron mesh method to divide each geometric model into a finite element mesh, and using an unstructured tetrahedron mesh method to perform encryption processing on the region of the stirring paddle corresponding to each geometric model.

Where n is an integer. For example, if n is 4 and the number of grids is 762536, then the computational domain grid with the number of grids being 762536 is selected. The fluid computational area grid in the geometric model of the original impeller is as follows: Figure 3 shown.

[0097] S107, determining a basic control equation for calculating a flow field of lithium battery slurry mixing, and performing volume integration processing on the basic control equation.

[0098] In this embodiment, the basic control equations of the flow field for the calculation of the lithium battery slurry mixing are determined, and the basic control equations are volume-integrated.

[0099] In one embodiment, the mass conservation equation is: The momentum conservation equation is:

[0100] Where ρ is the fluid density, t is the time, the local velocity components of the velocity V at any point in the fluid field are u, v, and w respectively; the x, y, and z directions are the spatial directions and positions respectively; p is the pressure in the fluid microelement; τ ij is the viscous stress acting on the surface of the microelement; ρg i is the gravitational body force in the i direction, F i is the external body force in the i direction.

[0101] S109, obtaining material properties corresponding to the lithium battery slurry added to the geometric model, and determining a medium flow model according to a calculation equation of the Reynolds coefficient.

[0102] In this embodiment, the material properties corresponding to the lithium battery slurry added to the geometric model are obtained, and the medium flow model is determined according to the calculation equation of the Reynolds coefficient, wherein the material properties include density and viscosity; specifically, the material properties corresponding to the lithium battery slurry can be manually pre-set according to actual conditions to obtain the material properties corresponding to the lithium battery slurry added to the geometric model. For example, the density of the lithium battery slurry is set to 1600kg / m 3 , the viscosity is set to a non-Newtonian fluid. Furthermore, when setting the data, the minimum viscosity is set to 10000 cP, the maximum viscosity is set to 100000 cP, and the viscosity of the lithium battery varies between the maximum viscosity and the minimum viscosity.

[0103] Further, according to the formula τ=Kγ n Calculation is performed, where τ is shear stress, K is consistency coefficient, γ is shear strain rate, and n is power law index; wherein two sets of τ and γ data are obtained by measurement, that is, two sets of data (τ1, γ1) and (τ2, γ2) are obtained by measurement, and then data K and n are calculated by formula. In this embodiment, for lithium battery slurry, the calculated consistency coefficient K is 5 and the power law index n is 0.5.

[0104] In this embodiment, the consistency coefficient K is 5, and the power law index n is 0.5. When n<1, it indicates a pseudoplastic fluid with shear thinning; when n=1, it indicates a Newtonian fluid; when n>1, it indicates an expansive fluid with shear thickening.

[0113] Figure 7The figure shows a schematic diagram of the tracer feeding position and monitoring point. In this embodiment, the component transport equation is established, and the tracer is added, and then the computational fluid model in the stirred tank of each geometric model is transiently solved to obtain the fluid parameters of the stirred tanks of multiple geometric models and realize the concentration field calculation. The result of the steady-state solution of each geometric model is used as the initial value of the component transport equation.

[0114] In one embodiment, the material parameters of the tracer are the same as the material parameters of the lithium battery slurry.

[0120] In this embodiment, the mixing data of the stirring tanks of the plurality of geometric models are compared, and the geometric model corresponding to the optimal mixing data is used as the design model of the lithium battery slurry mixing equipment (i.e., the optimal slurry type lithium battery slurry mixing equipment). In other words, the geometric model corresponding to the shortest uniform mixing time required under the same stirring effect conditions is used as the design model of the lithium battery slurry mixing equipment. Figure 8a and Figure 8b By comparing the stirring and mixing data of the stirring tanks of multiple geometric models, it can be learned that the monitoring point concentration change curve of the optimized slurry type of the stirring paddle is better than that of the original slurry type of the stirring paddle.

[0123] In one embodiment, the step of extracting the fluid region to be calculated is specifically: extracting the fluid region to be calculated by volume extraction and Boolean operation to improve the extraction reliability of the fluid region.

[0124] Furthermore, the steps of performing transient solution on the computational fluid model in the stirred tank of each of the geometric models are as follows: solving the mixing transient of the tracer based on the calculation results of the steady-state flow field, taking the result after the steady-state calculation converges as the initial value, and then performing transient calculation, automatically locking the transport equations of parameters such as velocity and turbulence, and only calculating the component transport equations.
