Description
The theme of the present volume is Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and aims to show the state-of-the-art of the application of CFD
in chemical engineering.
The volume is made up of five complementary contributions, providing a style of between a tutorial and a research
paper. Some contributions are entirely limited to velocity and temperature fields. Others emphasize the difficulties associated with
the combination of transport and reaction.
Contributions include dealing with the simulation of gas-liquid bubble columns and gas-liquid-solid
fluidized beds. Addressing the different levels of modeling that are required in order to cover the full spectrum of length scales that
are important for industrial applications. Stirred turbulent vessels and the chemical reactions. The importance of chemical reaction
kinetics and the interaction with transport phenomena. Finally, looking at reactor engineering: the catalytic fixed bed reactor.
