Mathematical models for design of bioreactors: Applications of: Kolmogoroff's theory of isotropic turbulence

Abstract Isotropic turbulence theory is very useful in evolving a coherent theme to explain the performance of bioreactors, but at present cannot provide an exact description of phenomena in bioreactors. An attempt is made to review the current state of the art of mathematical models for design parameters in bioreactors from the viewpoint of isotropic turbulence theory. The subjects which are important in improving design theories and correlations are indicated.
