The velocity field calculated by the numerical simulation was similar to the previous studies and the power constant agreed well with the experimental data. Three computational fluid dynamic （CFD） methods, labeled Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ, were used to compute the Metzuer constant k5. The results showed that the calculated value from the slop method （method Ⅰ） was consistent with the experimental data. Method Ⅱ, which took the maximal circumference-average shear rate around the impeller as the effective shear rate to compute ks, also showed good agreement with the experiment. However, both methods suffer from the complexity of calculation procedures. A new method （method Ⅲ） was devised in this paper to use the area-weighted average viscosity around the impeller as the effective viscosity for calculating k5. Method Ⅲ showed both good accuracy and ease of use.展开更多
