Narrative: Airlift reactors incorporating mammalian and plant                   cells have a high potential for commercial utilization to synthesize            a variety of important bioproducts (proteins, etc.).  Some                      advantages of the airlift concept include low shear rates,                      relatively good mixing, and a decreased risk of contamination.                  The single most important aspect of air lift reactors is that                   they provide a gentle environment for the culture and therefore,                preserve the integrity of fragile cells, which in turn reduces                  the release of undesirables into the broth.                                                                                                                     The specific objective of the research will be to obtain                        fundamental knowledge about the hydrodynamic forces and to                      characterize turbulence in multiphase flow.  This information                   will be used to examine effects on fragile cultures, design                     supports for immobilized cultures, and provide scale-up                         information for airlift fermentors.
