The population balance approach taking into account the bubble coalescence and breakup in turbulent gas-liquid dispersion is included.The Euler-Euler approach and the standard k-ε mixture turbulence model in three-dimensional computational domains accounting the effect of turbulence are used to simulate the two phase flows of the bubble column.The bubble size distribution along the column height, the gas volume fraction and liquid velocity have been predicted for the two-phase systems and for liquids different from water(ethanol, glycerol). The results of nonuniform bubbles size distribution in dispersed flow are presented grouped into individual size fractions at varying initial conditions and density of the elementary mesh.enArticle
