Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulation of Hydrodynamics in USP Apparatus 3—The Influence of Dip Rate

Purpose This study investigated the influence of dip rate on USP Apparatus 3 hydrodynamics in the presence of a solid dosage form (e.g. tablet) using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. The primary variables of interest were the liquid phase velocity in the computational domain and wall shear stresses on the tablet surfaces.
