摘要: Abstract This study investigated the flow characteristics of aluminum melt agitated by differently shaped impellers. A typical impeller used in industry has twisted blades. The present examined effect twisting angle on pattern through PIV experiments and numerical simulation using water model. results revealed that affects strength direction discharge flow. became weaker with increasing while was influenced both front blade surface space interval between adjacent structure trailing vortices found to be also varied depending angle.
