The tool combines the split-stress tensor approach and viscoelastic differential constitutive equations with the sliding-mesh technique. With this tool, a CFD simulation was run for a geometry of a spherical stirrer in an aqueous solution of carboxyl cellulose. Additionally, a rheological characterisation of that solution was conducted. For validation, the simulations were compared with flow field data acquired through particle image velocimetry measurements.}, doi = {10.4467/2353737XCT.16.013.4977}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/czasopismo-techniczne/article/numerical-simulation-of-viscoelastic-fluid-flow-in-stirred-vessels} }
