Liquid flow in a stirring mixer driven by a six-blade turbine has been investigated experimentally. The flows were quantified by measurements of velocity characteristics. obtained by a Particle Image Velocimetry(PIV). for a blade rotational speed of 100r.p.m. and for two blade clearances from the bottom of the tank. The instantaneous flow fields show that the bulk flow consists of small scale vortices very complicately. However, the mean flow results show that the formation of ring vortices above and below the blade. which depend on the clearance.
