Simulation multiphase airlift reactor with Eulerian multiphase model question????
 

Hi , My name is dilok kumyoo . I try to validate simulation result with experimental data . I use eulerian and mixture multiphas model with k-epsilon turbulence model and superficial gas velocity in range 0.02-0.09 m/s . But the result of simulation is higher than experimental data with 30% eror .

Question
- I don't know may be I miss the important point of simulation?
-The journal that i use for reference use ishi drag model but in fluent ishi drag can use when you use boiling model may i use another drag model for this case ? And drag model is influence to simulation result significant?
