Handbook of Industrial Mixing, Fluent Inc. Lebanon, New Hampshire,

Mixing processes can be based on a number of mechanisms, from agitation to sparging to static flow manipulation. Agitation in a stirred tank is one of the most common operations, yet presents one of the greatest challenges in the area of computer simulation. Stirred tanks typically contain an impeller mounted on a shaft, and optionally can contain baffles and other inteals such as spargers, coils, and draft tubes.
