A methodology for CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation of radiotracer experiments was
suggested. The most important parts of the methodology for validation of CFD results by radiotracers
are: a) successful simulation of tracer experiment by CFD code (numerical solution of tracer
dispersion in a stirred tank), which results in tracer concentration field at several time intervals;
b) post-process data treatment, which uses detection chain description and which enables to simulate
the detector measurement of homogenisation time from the tracer concentration field evaluated
by CFD code.
