3050 Static Mixer — Ultra Low Headloss

Westfall Model 3050 Static Mixer

Westfall Headloss Calculator Spreadsheet.

The Westfall Model 3050 Mixer was developed for situations with low available head. The mixer consists of a length of pipe fitted with four vanes. The tapered and curved vanes create vortices and multiple zones of turbulence that intersect to turn flow inside out. This produces good mixing while reducing headloss.

Alden Labs Simulations

Alden Research Laboratory, Inc. performed numerical simulations using the CFD software package FLUENT V6.3.26, a state-of-the-art, and finite volume-based fluid flow simulation package, to calculate the three-dimensional, incompressible, turbulent flow through the pipe and around the mixer.
