The shape, size, and packing of catalyst particles plays a significant role in the performance of packed bed columns or reactors. Performing experiments to find out the best configuration is usually a quite hectic process, then advanced numerical simulation techniques help us to analyze the performance of catalysts with various shapes.
This webinar focuses on the application of CFD-DEM scale modeling to understand the micro-scale interactions within packed beds and how they translate to macro-scale performance metrics like pressure drop and thermal gradients.
