Compared with eddy lifetime(EL)model,the EBI model gives somewhat smaller axial velocity in the upper circulation region and larger velocity in the lower circulation region,causing that fewer bubbles reach the lower circulation region and gas holdup becomes higher in the upper circulation region.The predicted gas holdup by the EBI model approaches closer to the experimental data in the discharge stream region.展开更多
