CFD Modelling of Bioprocesses: Integrating Mechanical Mixing, Aeration and Dynamic Rheology
DownloadFall 2021
Sadino Riquelme, Maria Constanza
Bioprocesses currently have a huge importance in worldwide sustainable development. However, the design of bioreactors based on experimental and empirical knowledge poses a challenge for the industrial biotechnology. Thus, CFD has gained attention as a design tool. Although CFD modelling has...
