Title: Multiscale modelling of fluidized beds
Abastract
The energy transition requires development of new conversion and separation equipment. The design and scale-up of such equipment requires fast models that can predict hydrodynamics, heat- and mass transfer, chemical conversion and phase transitions, usually in multi-phase systems. Unfortunately, these phenomena depend sensitively on small-scale events such as surface reactions or collisions between particles or droplets. It is therefore necessary to employ a multiscale modelling approach in which correlations are extracted from detailed small-scale models and fed into larger-scale models. In this talk I will highlight our work on hydrodynamics of fluidised beds containing elongated particles.
