CFD Validation for Algae Growth
Budget: $250 – $750 AUD
I am seeking a qualified CFD expert to develop, validate, and simulate a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model using Ansys Fluent for a flat plate photobioreactor (PBR) used for cultivating microalgae. The project involves validating the CFD model against experimental data and then exploring the effects of varying the sparger position within the reactor.
CFD Model Validation should include the CFD model using Eulerian approach and PBM by comparing its predictions with experimental biomass productivity results (g/L·d) obtained under different air injection flow rates. After the validation phase, Simulations and analysis of the impact of sparger positioning on the hydrodynamics and productivity within the PBR and optimizing mixing in PBR using a combination of different baffles.
Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Prior experience with CFD simulations, particularly in the area of biological growth, will be highly beneficial.
- Proficiency with ANSYS Fluent is a must for this project.
- A strong understanding of detailed turbulence modeling is a key requirement.
- Knowledge of microalgae growth would be beneficial.
This project is ideal for a freelancer with a strong background in CFD simulations and a keen eye for detail, particularly in the area of biological systems.
