Three-Way Coupling Simulation of a Gas-Liquid Stirred Tank using a Multi-Compartment Population Balance Model

Modelling of gas-liquid stirred tanks is very challenging due to the presence of strong bubble-liquid interactions. Depending upon the needs and desired accuracy, the simulation may be performed by considering one-way, two-way, three-way or four-way coupling between the primary and secondary phase....

Three-Way Coupling Simulation of a Gas-Liquid Stirred Tank using a Multi-Compartment Population Balance Model
description Modelling of gas-liquid stirred tanks is very challenging due to the presence of strong bubble-liquid interactions. Depending upon the needs and desired accuracy, the simulation may be performed by considering one-way, two-way, three-way or four-way coupling between the primary and secondary phase.

This study deals with two-way and three-way coupling of gas-liquid flow in stirred tanks which were then compared with results via four-way coupling. Population balance model (PBM) based on quadrature method of moments (QMOM) was implemented in a multi-compartment model of an aerated stirred tank to predict local bubble size. The multi-compartment model is regarded as three-way coupling because the local turbulent dissipation rates and flow rates were obtained from a two-way computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation.
