Three-dimensional simulation of light fields in the photobioreactor for Chlorella cultivation was performed. It was shown, that light flux reduced due to the increase of optical density and growth of microalgae cells concentration. According to the fact that light intensity is an important factor, affecting growth rate and development of microalgae cells, process automation and light flux increase in dependence to Chlorella cells gain are needed to be introduced [1-3].
