All the simulations done with the Discrete Phase Model let us see the moving trends of the particles in a bubble column. Indeed, we notice that when the inlet streams are at the bottom of the column, the bubbles go preferentially near the walls, whereas when the inlet streams are at the top, they go preferentially to the middle of the column. In micro gravity, there is a homogeneous presence rate of the bubbles in the column. Nevertheless, the calculations done give us only trends since we did not have the time to run the simulations for several seconds.
        To diminish the calculation time, we first increased the time step. But with the LES model and the particle tracking, an important time step let Fluent loose lots of bubbles. So we tried to use as the model of turbulence the k-epsilon model, but it gave bad results:
 
 

        To complete this study, it would have been interesting first, to do the calculations with a more precise mesh, especially near the walls. Besides, if we had more time, we could have run the calculations for a longer time and let the hydrodynamic phenomena of the column be stabilized.
