Airlift Reactors Have Been Recognized as One of the Promising Photobioreactors for Biomass/bio-Energy Production, Where Mixing Has Significant Impact on the Reactor Performance. in Recent Years, using CFD Simulations to Track Microorganism Cells and to Generate their Trajectories in the Reactor for Reactor Performance Evaluations Becomes More Common. However, there is a Lack of Systematic and Rigorous Verifications and Validations of the Reliability of CFD Models in Particle Tracking Against Experimental Measurements in the Open Literature, Which is Vital for the Faithful Application of CFD in Reactor Design and Scale-Ups. in This Work, We Attempt to Evaluate the Reliability of …
