This paper deals with simulation of the fluid flow in a stirred curved-bottom vessel equipped with three curved blade impellers. The power number and the impeller flow rate number are dimensionless characteristics of the system determined from simulation results and compared with relevant experimental data or data from the literature. The model of the system was created in the conventional Gambit and Fluent program. The system is solved for two designs — for an unbaffled vessel, and for a baffled vessel.The vessel is filled with water and the impeller speed is 100 min−1. Three turbulent models were used for the solution: k-ε, k-ω and RSM. The results were compared with experimental data or data from the literature. The k-ε model had the smallest demands on processor time, and the results compared satisfactorily with the experimental data. The model provides comprehensive information about the characteristics of the system.
