DETERMINATION OF FLOW REGIMES IN BUBBLE COLUMNS USING CFD
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation, deals with the solution of fluid dynamic equations on digital computers, requiring relatively few restrictive assumptions and thus giving a complete description of the hydrodynamics of bubble columns. This detailed predicted flow field gives an accurate insight to the fluid behaviors.3D simulation computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is applied using ANSYS-CFX Euler-Euler model to measure the hydrodynamic of an airlift reactor, and comparing with experimental data of Baten et. al., (1999).
