Photosynthetic Microorganisms Have Been Attracting World Attention for their Great Potential as Renewable Energy Sources in Recent Years. Cost Effective Production in Large Scale, However, remains a Major Challenge to overcome. It is Known to the Field that Turbulence Could Help Improving the Performance of Photobioreactors Due to the So-Called Flashing Light Effects. Better Understanding of the Multiphase Fluid Dynamics and the Irradiance Distribution Inside the Reactor that Cause the Flashing Light Effects, as Well as Quantifying their Impacts on the Reactor Performance, Thus, Are Crucial for Successful Design and Scale-Up of Photobioreactors. in This Study, a Species of Red …
