Bubble Columns Reactor CFD Simulation using the VOF Model, ANSYS Fluent

Bubble columns find extensive applications in the chemical, biochemical, and petrochemical sectors as multiphase contactors and reactors. High heat and mass transfer rates, compactness, and low operating and maintenance costs are just a few of the benefits they offer. In reaction engineering, where a catalyst is used, and in biochemical applications, where microorganisms are employed as solid suspensions to produce bioproducts with significant industrial value, three-phase bubble column reactors are frequently utilized. A deeper understanding of the hydrodynamic features, heat and mass transfer processes, and flow regime characteristics presented during operation has resulted from investigations into design parameters describing the operation and transport phenomena of bubble columns. Additionally, mathematical models and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations are used to supplement experimental research to better explain the phenomena occurring in a bubble column reactor.
