Bioreactor Lighting Simulator

This defines the size of the bioreactor. This can be anything from a few centimeters to a few meters (depends on the production scale).

As the model of the bioreactor is an infinite cylinder with infinite lighting strips, the light intensity needs of each strip needs to be defined in Watts per meter. A sample value is 10 Watts (a strip of normal LEDs)

The bioreactor can have reflective walls which will keep more of the light inside of the bioreactor. Typical values for the frequencies we're working with are 0.9 (for aluminium and silver) and 0.4 (for gold)

This value determines how much of the light is absorbed by the culture. Typical values can range from 0.01-0.04.

The lights can be uniform (same amount of light in all directions) or directed (light will come out of in a small angle).

This simulator works by shooting rays out of each light source. The more rays are used, the longer the simulation will take, but the better the result will be.

Resolution of the simulation. Higher resolutions need more rays per lightsource to be accurate.

Number of Lights in the system. The more lights, the better and the more uniform the lighting. Will increase the computation time.

Results
?%
Shows the light intensity in a slice of the bioreactor. This image uses the jet colormap. Red = saturated, green = partially saturated, blue = low/no lighting.
At any point in time, ?% of the cells are saturated in light (as the cells are shaken around the orbital shaker and the LOV domain has a long half-time, they don't need to be constantly saturated).
?% of the light was lost (absorbed by the walls or escaped through a transparent wall).
