Flow in an unba ed stirred vessel agitated by a four-bladed radial impeller is investigated by using Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) at Re = 320 and 1600. We observe uctuations in the power consumption with a peak frequency at ca. three times the impeller rotational speed for both Reynolds numbers. It is discovered that these uctuations are associated with a periodic event in the wake of the blades, which involves alternating growth and decay of the upper and lower cores of the trailing vortex pair as well as up-and-down swinging motion of the radial jet. Moreover, the phase relation between the wakes of the di erent blades is examined in detail. Further studies using fractal-shaped blades show that the exact blade shape does not have a strong in uence on this phenomenon. However, the wake interaction between the blades, hence the number of blades, has a direct in uence on the unsteadiness of trailing vortices.
