Abstract (EN): Mixing in RIM is made mainly by advective mechanisms, rather than diffusion. In this paper, the advective mechanisms that enable reducing the mixing scales down to the values required for the complete chemical reaction of the two monomers inside the RIM mixing chamber are identified and studied. From Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations of non-diffusive two-phase flow using the Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) model, a linear scale of segregation is determined as a measure of the degree of mixing and the effect of the Reynolds number is studied.
