Abstract We derive and study a Lax–Friedrichs-type finite volume method for a large class of nonlocal continuity equations in multiple dimensions. We prove that the method converges weakly to the measure-valued solution and converges strongly if the initial data is of bounded variation. Several numerical examples for the kinetic Kuramoto equation are provided, demonstrating that the method works well for both regular and singular data.

The paper presents calculations of flow in a mixing vessel stirred by a six-blade Rushton impeller. Mathematical model used in computations is based on the ensemble averaged conservation equations. An efficient finite-volume method based on unstructured grids with rotating sliding parts composed of arbitrary polyhedral elements is used together with various turbulence models. Besides the standard k-ε model which served as a reference, k-ε-v2 model (Durbin, 1995) and the recently proposed hybrid EVM/RSM turbulence model (Basara & Jakirlic, 2003) were used in the calculations. The main aim of the paper is to investigate if more advanced turbulence models are needed for this type of CFD applications. The results are compared with the available experimental data.
