Eddy Current Identification Methods and Applications in the Chemical Industry: A Mini-Review.

As one of the most common fluid patterns in the fluid flow process of chemical production, a vortex has been successfully demonstrated to be a structure that promotes interphase mixing and enhances heat and mass transfer. Therefore, it is essential to reveal the vortex evolution laws in order to realize more efficient and less energy-consuming chemical production. In this Mini-Review, the vortex identification criteria are introduced in detail and categorized according to their development history. The application of vortex identification technology and its application in the chemical industry are explored with a large number of examples. This review enhances our understanding of vortex structures and provides plenty of innovative ideas for the study of chemical industry production.
