Three-dimensional Numerical Simulation of Dough Kneading
نویسنده
چکیده
In this article we report on work concerned with the three-dimensional numerical simulation of dough mixing that arises in the food processing industry. Two dough mixers at various rotation speeds are studied, one with one stirrer and the other with two stirrers. Various types of fluid models are incorporated in this work. Numerical simulations are based on three dimensions in the cylindrical coordinates system. The results reflect excellent agreements against the equivalent experimental results. The motivation for this work is to develop and advance technology to model the mixing of dough. The ultimate target is to predict and adjust the design of dough mixers, so that optimal dough processing may be achieved notably with reference to work input on the dough.
