CFD simulation of two- and three-phase flow in FCC reactors

Liquid distribution and evaporation in Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) reactors are investigated numerically. The well-documented inaccuracy of conventional two-fluid modeling of hydrodynamics in fluidized beds of Geldart Group A particles is revisited. A new force-balance (FB) sub-grid-scale model,...
