- Additional information
- This paper provides a new modelling framework for Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations of blending and mixing complex non-Newtonian structured fluids. Simulations of such fluids are challenging and limited information on these fluids is available in the literature. The new approach developed in this work provides detailed information on the flow history effects, which are usually encountered in high-shear mixers used in the process industry. This work was funded by Unilever (email: Adam.Kowalski@unilever.com) and the new mathematical formulation is developed in an open-source code available to Unilever. This work led to a 3 million EPSRC grant Prosperity partnership (EP/R00482X/1).
