Modeling and Simulation of Microalgae Growth in a Couette-Taylor Bioreactor

Original language description

Despite the fact that biotechnology with microalgae is attracting a lot of research interest since 1950s, a reliable computational tool for simulation of microalgal bioreactors is still lacking. In this work, a unified multidisciplinary modeling framework for microalgae culture systems is presented. Our framework consists of the model of microalgae growth in form of advection-diffusion-reaction system within a phenomenological model of photosynthesis and photoinhibition. The fluid dynamics is described by the Navier-Stokes equations and the rradiance field inside a reactor closes the equation system. The main achievement resides in successful integration of computational fluid dynamics code ANSYS Fluent and reaction kinetics, which makes our approach reliable and simple to implement. As a case study, the imulation of microalgae growth in a Couette-Taylor bioreactor is presented. The bioreactor operation leads to hydrodynamically induced fluctuating light conditions and the flashing light enhancement phenomenon, known from experiments. The presented model thus exhibits features of a eal system.
