A numerical simulation was conducted to investigate the effect of height position of Rushton type Impeller in the fermentation. The computational method was based on the CFX code. The simulation was performed for 3 height differences(25, 30, 35mm) between Rushton type impeller and bottom of fermentation. The instantaneous flow fields showed that the bulk flow consisted of large scale vortices. However the main flow results showed that the formation of ring vortices above and below the impeller depended on the height of the impeller.
