Numerical Modeling of Air-Water Flows in Bubble Columns and Airlift Reactors

Bubble columns and airlift reactors were modeled numerically to better understand the hydrodynamics and analyze the mixing characteristics for each configuration. An Eulerian-Eulerian approach was used to model air as the dispersed phase within a continuous phase of water using the commercial softwa...
