ASME BPE CAD • MULTIPHASE CFD • IN-SILICO SCALE-UP

Predictive Bioreactor CAD & Multiphase CFD Simulation Engineered for Scale

Full-physics Eulerian-Eulerian multiphase CFD, sliding mesh turbulence modeling (k-ε / SST k-ω), and ASME BPE parametric 3D CAD design. We solve hydrodynamic shear stress dissipation, gas holdup (εg), and dynamic kLa oxygen mass transfer kinetics to eliminate scale-up risk from 1L benchtop to 25,000L+ industrial fermenters.
