[Effects of turbulent fluctuation intensity on the growth of algae and water environment]

Through a self-designed vertically oscillating grid experiment device, the experiment was carried out to research the effects of the turbulence fluctuation intensity on the growth of algae and water environment in the water with adequate nutrients by changing the vibration frequency under a certain light and temperature conditions. The results showed that: the turbulent fluctuation has significant effects on algae growing that weak turbulence fluctuation can promote the growth of algae and strong turbulence fluctuation will inhibit the growth of algae in the range of experimental level. With the increase of the turbulent fluctuation intensity, the peak of algal biomass gradually delayed. Changes of nitrogen and phosphorus in the experimental process have significant differences, when the vibration frequency was up to 2.0 Hz, the maximum reduction of TN and TP were 55.2% and 69.0% lower compared with 0.5 Hz, which was closely associated with the growth of algae. With the intensity of turbulent fluctuation increases, nitrogen-phosphorus ratio first increases and then decreases corresponding to the peak of the algal biomass. Turbulent fluctuation can promote the pH and, dissolved oxygen quickly adjusted to the level of algae growing required, and the most appropriate value remains unchanged.
