Quasi-1D Modelling of Particle-Laden Internal Turbulent Flows with Nucleation, Agglomeration and Breakup: Application to Asphaltenes Deposition in Oil Wells

Particle-laden internal turbulent flows are very commonplace, for example, in petrochemical flow lines, oil wells and so on. From an engineering view point, modelling such flows in a 3D or even 2D fashion may not be reasonable in terms of computational cost, especially when the flow domain is sufficiently long, and a large number of grid cells...

CFD modeling of chemical reactors: Single-Phase Complex Reactions and Fine-Particle Production

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a useful tool for modeling chemical reactors. However, because the design goals and expected outcomes are different than in "traditional'' CFD applications, chemical reactors require special attention to the treatment of chemical reactions, and heat and mass transfer. Here we provide an overview of the...
