Study of flow fields in mixing tanks with particles using CFD
The demand for food products with particles has increased in the last decades. Among them, yoghurt with fruit pieces or cereals can be found. Thus, the food processing industry is facing important challenges to offer these products to meet the quality requirements. Tetra Pak creates then this project to research and increases the knowledge of how these fluid-particle interactions behave. The main Human desires when consuming food are nowadays shifting towards more healthy, and natural food. Products with food particles are commonly well perceived by consumers. Among them, one can find yoghurt with fruit pieces or cereals. To process these products, and satisfy the user expectations, some challenging conditions must be faced. Some of these, are explored in this Master Thesis.
