Comparison of PIV-measured (symbols) and CFD-predicted fluid flow velocities (solid line) through a horizontal line for side (a) and bottom view recordings (b). The comparison of the fluid flow velocities is given for operational parameters of 1.0 L, 25 rpm, and 10°. The error bars represent the standard deviation calculated over the 800 double frame images. The length coordinates were made dimensionless by the length of the field of view. The contour plots of the PIV data were scaled from 0.0 to 0.45 m s−1.
