The laminar mixing performance in a cylindrical vessel agitated by a plate impeller is investigated. Several mixing enhancement strategies such as baffling, shaft eccentricity and angularly-oscillating impeller (unsteady mixing) are considered. The flow equations are solved numerically via a Lagrang...
