Abstract
Dispersedgas-liquid two-phase flows are encountered in a variety of industrial processes such as the large-scale production of synthetic fuels and base chemicals employing bubble column reactors. Despite their widespread industrial application the detailed understanding of the fluid mechanics prevailing in bubble column reactors is unfortunately lacking (Tomiyama,1998),which can be related to the inherent complexity of the underlying physical phenomena in (dense) bubbly flows such as bubble-liquid interaction(including turbulence)and bubble-bubble interaction(including coalescence and break-up).
