Numerical modelling of momentum transfer in a stirred tank has been describ
ed. A commercial CFD package and the standard k-epsilon turbulence model we
re used in the simulations. Ile predicted values of the axial and tangentia
l velocity components and of the kinetic turbulence energy have been compar
ed with those from experiments for the wall stream. The model values have b
een underestimated by about 30% as compared with the experimental.
