What Fluidmapper covers today.
Purpose-built for stirred tanks and mixing vessels. We're transparent about what we do well and where current boundaries lie.
Best suited for
Stirred tanks and mixing vessels
Lab to pilot scale, up to ~1m diameter
Opaque, multiphase fluids
Ambient to moderate temperatures — works where optical methods fail
Rapid screening
Impeller types, baffling, and operating parameters — 28 configurations in 28 days
CFD validation datasets
Measured data formatted for direct comparison with simulation outputs
Detector calibration is reusable across multiple campaigns for the same geometry.
Current limitations
High-temperature fluids (>80°C)
Require specialized tracers currently in development. Contact us for timeline.
Very large vessels (>1m diameter)
Not yet validated at scale. Contact us to discuss your specific geometry.
Physical access required
Tracer and detector placement requires direct access to the vessel.
Complements CFD, does not replace it
Best used to validate and refine simulation models, not as a substitute for early-stage design.
