Probing Heterogeneities in Fluid-Particle Systems with the Computer

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference paper

Abstract

Energy conversion processes, the granulation and drying of pharmaceuticals, or processes for the production of chemicals rely on (reactive) fluid-particle systems. Simple visual observation, as well as sophisticated experiments [1] reveal that heterogeneities form in these systems, often on length scales ranging from a single nanometre to a few decimetres.
In Part I, I will discuss recent advances for simulating these heterogeneities, focussing on intra-particle transport phenomena [2] in reactive and inert fluid-particle systems. Part II will review strategies and tools to analyse the nature and the effect of heterogeneous structures. Part III will summarize recent results, specifically (i) the effect of liquid addition to fluid-particle systems, (ii) how intra-particle transport phenomena affect thermal transport and reactions, as well as (iii) transport phenomena in polydisperse particulate systems.
