Geometry optimization of a continuous millireactor via CFD and Bayesian optimization

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a powerful tool which can help with the geometry optimization of continuous milli-scale reactors, which often are highly complex devices. Attempting to perform this optimization by manually modifying and testing geometry configurations can however be tedious and computationally inefficient. Addressing...

Characterising the two-phase flow and mixing performance in a gas-mixed anaerobic digester: Importance for scaled-up applications

This study aimed to characterise the gas-liquid flow and mixing behaviour in a gas-mixed anaerobic digester by improving phase interaction modelling using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). A 2D axisymmetric model validated with experimental data was set up using an Eulerian-Eulerian method. Uncertainty factors, including bubble size, phase...
