The purpose of this research is to better understand the characteristics of two-phase flow in a rectangular bubble column. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) (ANSYS-FLUENT R15.0®) has been used to conduct numerical studies of the flow pattern. Furthermore, the experimental data is used to verify the...
