Understanding of hydrodynamics in liquid jet loop reactors is a prerequisite step for the fur-ther study of multi-phase flow in loop reactors.A hydrodynamic simulation for liquid jet loop reac-tors is developed from the first principles of transport phenomena in this paper.The turbulence istaken into account by using the standard k-ε model.This approach is used to study the influence ofconfiguration and viscosity on the hydrodynamics.The results are in very reasonable coincidence to ex-perimental data in literature.
