Abstract: As a new type of reactor built on the basis of Taylor-vortex flow theory, Taylor-vortex flow reactor has been used more and more intensively, exhibiting favorable application potential. The influences of operational parameters, such as rotating speed of inner cylinder, axial speed of medium, radius ratio and aspect ratio, on the performances of Taylor-vortex flow reactor are analyzed. Present applications of Taylor-vortex flow reactor in the fields of particle preparation, photocatalysis and cell culture, etc. are introduced. Exisiting application problems, including gas access, flow character improvement and reactor’s scale up, are proposed. Appropriate scale up technologies and studies on reliability of scale-up reactors should become research emphases in the future.
