Abstract
A fluid mixing device () includes a chamber () and a bluff body () defining one end of the chamber (). A first fluid inlet () is located toward an opposite end of the chamber () from the bluff body () and arranged to direct fluid toward the bluff body (). A region substantially surrounding the bluff body () has a flow divider () defining second fluid inlet(s) () to the chamber () and mixed fluid outlets () from the chamber (). A fluid flow from the first fluid inlet () and/or from the second fluid inlet () establishes a recirculating vortex system () within the chamber and results in a mixture of fluids from the first fluid inlet () and the second fluid inlet(s) () being directed through the mixed fluid outlets ().
