This article presents a state-of-the-art review focusing on the current understanding of the
multiscale multiphase phenomena inside Bubble Column Reactors (BCRs). Although many …

Bubble columns are used in many different industrial applications, and their design and
characterisation have always been very complex. In recent years, the use of Computational …

Bubbly flow is a prototypical two-phase flow problem. The dynamic behavior of bubbles
within a reactor is intrinsically linked to their transport, distribution, and mass transfer, all of …

In the study of meso-scale structures of multi-phase flow in bubble columns, accurate
modelling of the interaction between the turbulence eddies and particle/bubble groups is …

Population balance equations have been combined to a classical hydrodynamic Euler/Euler
simulation to investigate the operation of a cylindrical bubble column. The MUSIG (mutiple …

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been widely used to study the hydrodynamics of
bubble column reactors. However, the interaction between the different phases, which are in …

The correct design, operation and scale-up of bubble columns rely on the knowledge of the
fluid dynamics at the “bubble-scale” and at the “reactor-scale”. This paper contributes to the …

An understanding of the fluid dynamics and the transport phenomena in bubble columns (in
the homogeneous and heterogeneous flow regimes) is of fundamental importance to …

It is a key step to understand the bubbling behavior in order to quantitatively describe the
flow and transfer behavior in bubble columns. Compared with two-dimensional simulation …

We present a comprehensive literature review on the two-phase bubble column; in this
review we deeply analyze the flow regimes, the flow regime transitions, the local and global …
