“…In the multiphase flow community, machine learning techniques, especially the artificial neural network (ANN) (Beale and Jackson, 1990), have been applied to multiphase flow researches have been developed, e.g. flow pattern identification from video images (Liu and Bai, 2019;Shibata et al, 2021), subgridscale modeling of interfacial mass transfer in DNS of bubbles (Weiner et al, 2019), modeling of heat transfer coefficients (Enoki et al, 2017), predictions of void fractions in upward bubbly flows (Tanaka et al, 2022) and modeling of hydrodynamics in bubble column reactors (Behkish, 2004;Behkish et al, 2005;Tanaka, 2010;Tanaka et al, 2010). Behkish (2004) developed an ANN for predicting the total gas holdup and the gas holdup of large bubbles in bubble column and slurry bubble column reactors (Behkish et al, 2005).…”
