This method is suitable for industrial stirred reactors for its computing resource saving.The simulation process is as follows: 1) velocity field of bioreactor simulated by computational fluid dynamics (CFD); 2) mean age distribution simulated by CFD steady-state calculation; 3) volume integration process performed on the histogram of the mean age distribution to simulate mixing time. To get accurate mixing time, three conditions should be satisfied: 1) unstructured mesh element number should guarantee that the power calculated by energy dissipation rate should exceed 80% of the power calculated by the torque; 2) inlet flux should be two orders lower in magnitude than the impeller pumping flow rates; 3) number of mean age groups should be more than 12500 for Matlab post-processing.When ratio of height to diameter of reactor is lower than 1.5:1, simulation res
