Three-dimensional simulations are necessary to obtain a correct determination of the flow field.
“Therefore, although computationally much more expensive, three-dimensional simulations are necessary to obtain a correct determination of the flow field [136,158,159].”
From Modeling and Simulation of Photobioreactors with Computational Fluid Dynamics—A Comprehensive Review (2022) · cites this paper as [158]
Selma et al. [312] implemented CM and DQMOM in OpenFOAM to model polydisperse two-phase flow of a rectangular bubble column and STR; the model was validated with experimental results for the bubble column, and numerical results and experiments agree well in time-averaged axial liquid velocity and gas hold-up.
“Selma et al. [312] implemented the CM and the DQMOM in OpenFOAM ® to model the polydisperse two-phase flow of a rectangular bubble column and a stirred tank reactor (STR). The model was validated with the experimental results [158,313] for the case of the bubble column. Numerical results and experiments agree well in terms of time-averaged axial liquid velocity and gas hold-up.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
