Enhancement mechanism of mixing with baffle in agitated vessel using rotated two-bladed paddle impeller was investigated under a laminar condition. In mixing pattern, the toroidal isolated mixing region in the baffled vessel becomes distortive and much smaller than that of unbaffled vessel. From the visualization of streak cross-sections in the baffled vessel, interestingly, the renewed streak folds (streak lobes) are generated at the vicinity of baffles in both the vertical and horizontal cross-sections. These behaviors of streak are unlike the unbaffled case that the streak stretches straightforwardly. The streak lobe is known as the mixing template that its number and size are key factor for laminar mixing in agitated vessel. The results suggest that baffles can effectively transform the circumferential flow to vertical and/or radial flows. Consequently, in the baffled vessels, not only the vicinity of vessel wall but also the tip of baffles can become the origination of streak lobe formation, and folds of streak in the vertical and circumferential directions are further enhanced with baffles.
► Enhancement mechanism of mixing with baffle under a laminar condition.
► Difference in mixing pattern between unbaffled and baffled vessels.
► Streak lobe as the mixing template for laminar mixing.
► Transforming function of flow direction with baffles.
► Renewed stagnation point for the generation of streak lobe near the tip of baffles.
