This paper focuses on mixing strategies and designing shape of the bottom topographies to enhance the growth of the microalgae in raceway ponds. A physical-biological coupled model is used to describe the growth of the algae. A simple model of a mixing device such as a paddle wheel is also considered. The complete process model was then included in an optimization problem associated with the maximization of the biomass production. The results show that non-trivial topographies can be coupled with some specific mixing strategies to improve the microalgal productivity.

混合策略与形状设计相结合，提高了水塘的生产力

本文着重于混合策略和设计底部地形的形状，以增强水道池中微藻的生长。物理-生物耦合模型用于描述藻类的生长。还考虑了诸如桨轮的混合装置的简单模型。然后，将完整的过程模型包括在与生物质产量最大化相关的优化问题中。结果表明，非平凡的地形可以与某些特定的混合策略相结合，以提高微藻的生产率。
