A dislocated self-similarity impeller (DS impeller) was introduced in the solid particles and pseudoplastic fluid mixing process. The investigation on the mixing performance of a dislocated pitched-blade impeller (DPB impeller) and a DS impeller was conducted by applying experimental and computational fluid dynamics simulation.

Fractal perforating impeller was introduced to minimize the stagnation zone and enlarge the well-mixed zone for the mixing process of shear-thinning fluids with yield stress in a stirred reactor. The mixing performance of the fractal perforating impeller was investigated by applying experimental analyses and numerical simulation.
