The present study focuses on the gas flow through an experiment-scale modular packed bed reactor consisting of square bars, arranged in layers. Each layer is rotated by $30^\circ$ resulting in a complex shape of the void spaces between the…
The fluid dynamics video show a gas stream which is injected into a packed bed immersed in water and fluid dynamcis video present the dynamics involved. The refractive index of the water an the packed bed are quite similar and the edges of…
The present study focuses on the assessment of the performance of a Finite Volume Method based, particle-resolved simulation approach to predict the flow through a model packed-bed consisting of 21 layers of spheres arranged in the body…
Gas-liquid flows through packed bed reactors (PBRs) are challenging to predict due to the tortuous flow paths that fluid interfaces must traverse. Experiments at the International Space Station showed that bubble and pulse flows are…
This work marks the third in a series of experiments that were in a semi-circular, gas-fluidized bed with side jets. In this work, the particles are 1 mm ceramic beads. The bed is operated just at and slightly above and below the minimum…
Direct numerical simulation is used to investigate effects of turbulent flow in the confined geometry of a face-centered cubic porous unit cell on the transport, clustering, and deposition of fine particles at different Stokes numbers ($St…
Laboratory experiments were conducted to study particle migration and flow properties of non- Brownian, non-colloidal suspensions ranging from 10% to 40% particle volume fraction in a pressure-driven flow over and through a porous structure…
The diffusion of gas through porous material is important to understand the physical processes underlying cometary activity. We study the diffusion of a rarefied gas (Knudsen regime) through a packed bed of monodisperse spheres via…
Trajectories of a buoyant spherical solid particle in a linear shear flow were investigated at low Reynolds numbers. A two-dimensional CFD analysis was performed to simulate the solid-fluid flows. Our numerical model, the discrete phase…
Liquid spreading in gas-liquid concurrent trickle-bed reactors is simulated using an Eulerian twofluid CFD approach. In order to propose a model that describes exhaustively all interaction forces acting on each fluid phase with an emphasis…
Understanding fluid flow through porous media with complex geometries is essential for improving the design and operation of packed-bed reactors. Most existing studies focus on spherical packings, having as a consequence that accurate…
