What this means in practice

Instead of narrowing to a few designs early, you can explore the full design space quickly then lock the decision with measured evidence. Your CFD becomes trustworthy. Your pilot scope shrinks. Your time-to-market compresses.

Measured physics

Radioactive tracer follows the flow. Detectors capture 3D trajectories. AI reconstructs full fields from measured data, no turbulence-model guessing.

Decision intelligence

Identify dead zones, recirculation patterns, mixing efficiency vs power, and turbulence metrics so you can choose the best configuration with confidence.

Case study

Mixing equipment manufacturer

A manufacturer needed the optimal impeller configuration for a viscous slurry application but could not afford to test more than 3 designs with traditional pilot methods.

10 configurations evaluated (vs. 3 with traditional methods). Total campaign duration: 4 days.

Evaluate 10x more designs in a fraction of the time

Calibration is a one-time cost. Once calibrated, additional configurations are tested rapidly, enabling design space optimization impossible with pilot testing alone.

Deliverables teams actually use

You don't just get plots. You get quantified performance curves and ground-truth fields your team can compare directly against CFD and use to select designs.

  • Full 3D velocity fields (axial, radial, tangential)
  • Dead-zone mapping + recirculation identification
  • Mixing efficiency vs power curves across configurations
  • Turbulence metrics (TKE, Reynolds stresses, dissipation)
  • CFD validation datasets formatted for direct comparison
  • Quantitative data with defined measurement uncertainty bounds
Five deliverable output types: velocity fields, dead-zone maps, mixing curves, turbulence metrics, and CFD validation data
3D velocity streamlines

Full volumetric velocity fields with axial, radial, and tangential components across the entire vessel.

Mixing efficiency vs power

Performance curves across all tested configurations for direct design comparison and selection.

Dead-zone mapping

Identify and quantify stagnant regions to optimize flow coverage and reduce process variability.

Turbulence metrics

TKE, Reynolds stresses, and energy dissipation rates for engineering analysis and CFD validation.
