In this paper, investigations of the structure of the stream-flow in a lab scale stirred tank bioreactor are developed with the relevant research methods. The choise on the following statistical criteria: Fisher function, correlation coefficient, and relative error is developed. The best results at low impeller speed are received at a model with stagnancy zone. The obtained results are used for modeling of a stirred tank bioreactor.
