CFD-accelerated bioreactor optimization: reducing the hydrodynamic parameter space
Optimization of promising water/wastewater treatment technologies requires significant resources in terms of time, labor and cost due to complex interactions between flow, microorganisms and reactions. The use of computational fluid dynamic simulations can shrink the possible parameter space, hence decreasing scale-up optimization costs.
