CFD Simulation of Bubbly Flow Through a Bubble Column
نویسنده
چکیده
In this investigation, CFD simulation is presented to study the hydrodynamic of bubbly flow and mass transfer in bubble column using EulerianEulerian Multifluid approach with a standard kε turbulence model. unsteady state method for modeling the multiphase flow and mass transfer from air to de-aerated water and the column hydrodynamics. Understanding the complexity of the fluid dynamics and mass transfer in bubble column and is important due to its application in the chemical and bioprocess industries. Numerical simulation was carried out using COMSOL multiphysics software. The results were presented for various hydrodynamics parameters such as phase dynamics, phase velocity profile contours of fluid velocity in chosen cross-section planes of the column and concentration of gas in liquid phase .

Numerical simulations of the gas-liquid bubbly flow in a bubble column were conducted with the commercial CFD package CFX-4.4 to investigate the performance of three models (Pfleger and Becker, 2001; Sato and Sekoguchi, 1975; Troshko and Hassan, 2001) to account for the bubble-induced turbulence in the k-ε model. Furthermore, the effect of two different interfacial closure models was investigat...
