“…The experiments by Miller et al (Miller et al, 1964) regarding a bioreactor with the Taylor vortex flow indicated that the rate of photosynthesis increases with an increasing rotor speed. Also, Kliphuis et al (Kliphuis et al, 2010) investigated the effects of the density of algae in the Taylor vortex flows on productivity. Also, it has been confirmed by Kawai (Kawai, 2010) that cell death is negligible in the range below the Reynold number based on the gap, d, between cylinders of Re = 30000, where the flow field was also measured by an ultrasonic Doppler velocity profiler.…”
