Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aimed to understand the characteristics of three-phase bubbly flows in slurry bubble column reactors in GTL technologies and to develop a numerical method for predicting the flows. The followings were conducted for this purpose: (1) experiments on effects of solid particles on bubble coalescence and modeling the effects, (2) development of experimental databases of three-phase bubbly flows in slurry bubble columns, and (3) development of a numerical method for the three-phase bubbly flows in slurry bubble columns.
