Simulation and analyses of airlift loop reactor with low ratio of height to diameter by CFD

Airlift reactor has been widely used in chemical industry,biological chemistry for their simple construction,good mixing, good heat conducting performance,and easy to be operated compared with stirred tanks.The computational fluid dynamics code is used to simulate the fluid behaviors of gas and liquid in an air lifted loop reactor with the Euler-Euler multiphase model in this paper.Con- sidering the character of aerobic reaction,Flow and mixing characteristic of one kind-of airlift loop bioreactor with low ratio of height to diameter(H/D=1.67)are studied.To analyze the simulation results,it is easy to find that the velocity and volume fraction of gas and water are basically identical with the practice.So the simulation results can be proved feasibility and offer industry's practical ap- plication.
