Overview of the User’s Guide
The Mixer Module User’s Guide gets you started with modeling using COMSOL Multiphysics and provides information specific to this module. Further instructions on using COMSOL Multiphysics in general are found in the COMSOL Multiphysics Reference Manual.
As detailed in the section Where Do I Access the Documentation? this information can also be found from the COMSOL Multiphysics software Help menu.
For general information about setting up and solving CFD applications, see the CFD Module User’s Guide.
The last section in this chapter features a model you can access from The Application Libraries Window. The Tutorial Model — Nonisothermal Mixer solves a mixer-flow problem using the Laminar Flow interface in the Rotating Machinery, Nonisothermal Flow branch.
The following chapter documents the Mixer Module Part Library. It includes an overview of all the included impellers and tanks.
The third chapter introduces you to the Theory for the Free Surface Features. It includes descriptions of the mesh deformation within the free surface domain and the conditions that need to be satisfied at a free surface, at a three-phase boundary, and on a rotating shaft within the free surface domain.
The remaining chapters describe the physics interfaces and features under the Rotating Machinery, Fluid Flow branch, and the additional branches exclusive to the Mixer Module: Rotating Machinery, Multiphase Flow Interfaces, Rotating Machinery, Nonisothermal Flow Interfaces, and Rotating Machinery, Reacting Flow Interfaces.
