Hydrodynamics in a Bubble Column – Part 1: Two‐Phase Flow

Abstract Multiphase computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation is a useful tool to study the hydrodynamics in bubble column if appropriate closure models are known. Systematic assessment of different an ongoing venture that benefits from improved validation data. The present accumulates database on two‐phase flow experiments column. This achieved by using combination particle image velocimetry and shadowgraphy measure liquid velocity field gas dispersion properties simultaneously. methodology applied for needle diameters rates. experimental data compared with CFD simulations which show good predictions. A systematic investigation three‐phase will appear as sequel.
