Agitated Tank simulation with ketchup

Good day
im having some issues interpreting the results of my simulation of an agitating Tank with ketchup. Ive made a comparisson in a 20cm high and 15 cm diamter agitation tank with a stirrer with four 45° blades. In one case it is filled with water and in the other with ketchup. Both rotating at 334 RPM. Using the VOF method ive been able to prove that the vortex formed in both cases are quite different. Ketchup is significantly more viscous than water, and by agitating in the same RPMs we see a bigger depth of a vortex in the tank with ketchup with this weird behaviour. Why could this relative big deformation in such a high viscous medium occour? Is it logical? The ketchup viscous model data was generated with a Rheometer so I dont think the problem lies here. Thanks a lot if you can help me |
