The Subject Division deals with technical and scientific problems of mixing processes in systems in which the main component exist as a solid, a paste or a low to high-viscosity liquid. In all areas, the aim is to investigate the fundamental phenomena, to devise experimentally supported criteria for scale-up and design of machinery and apparatus, to develop mathematical models to describe the most important mixing apparatus.
Priorities:

• Stirring techniques
• Mixing with solids, pastes or high-viscosity liquids
• Micro and mini-mixers
• Special areas
• Modeling and simulation
