Overview

The focus of the webinar is the scale up and down of industrial mixing operations involving particles and bubbles in turbulent liquids. Simulation methods of stirred aerated/slurry stirred (bio-)reactors of complex geometry and large scale based on the Two-fluid Model will be presented. The modelling challenges for ensuring sound predictions of fluid dynamics and mass transfer variables with affordable computational costs and without preliminary model calibrations will be discussed.
