Abstract:
      Based on Fluent fluid dynamics software, standard k-ε turbulence model, Euler-Euler multiphase model and multi-reference frame method of steady-state flow were applied to simulate solid-fluid two-phase flow field of stirring leaching tank by changing number of impeller layers, blade layer spacing and distance of impeller from the bottom. The results show that increasing number of impeller layer can obviously improve the "dead zone" range of liquid velocity, and fluid mixing in the whole tank is more intense. When blade spacing is 0.33 D~0.53 D (D is inner diameter of leaching tank), main fluid flow pattern is confluence flow which the contact collision between solid and liquid can be strengthened and the two phase flow can be fully mixed. When height of lower blade from bottom is 0.13 D~0.23 D, it can effectively alleviate the problem of solid particles deposition at bottom of groove and promote effective dispersion of solid particles.
