title: Flow structures in MBR-tanks.
abstract: In this paper a CFD model is presented that allows for an approximation of the flow field within MBR-tanks. The technique is demonstrated by means of two examples considering both hollow-fibre and sheet-membrane modules. The flow field is computed and a comparison between measured and computed flow velocities shows the good quality of the numerical model.
