Microbubble generation by a novel fluidic oscillator driven approach is analyzed, with a view to identifying the keydesign elements and their differences from standard approaches to airlift loop bioreactor design. The microbubblegeneration mechanism has been shown to achieve high mass transfer rates by the decrease of the bubble diameter,by hydrodynamic stabilization that avoids coalescence, and by longer residence times offsetting slower convection.
