FLUENT 6 - how to model bubble column reactors -- best practices


Are there any guidelines or best practices available for modeling of bubble column reactors? These reactors are commonly used for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, for example.
Yes, a best practices document is available at:

entitled "Modeling Bubble Column Reactors". This document provides guidance on using the Eulerian multiphase model to simulate gas/liquid flow in a bubble column reactor, including:

- typical modeling assumptions
- mesh recommendations
- solver setup and boundary conditions
- solution strategies
- postprocessing
- troubleshooting guidelines
