Numerical simulation of energy dissipation in mixing process of bread dough

Abstract

Mixing theory is important for its relevance in understanding some of the most fundamental problems involving bread dough flows, and for its practical impact in connection with bakery industry and other food industries. The aim of this article is to develop advanced technology for numerical simulation of bread dough mixing process, in order to provide a predictive capability of optimum design parameters of dough mixers using Computational Fluid Dynamics code named Flow Vision
