The coupling between fluid and granular materials is commonly encountered in nature and
engineering practice. Moreover, the shape of granular materials in practical applications is …

In 2006, Dixon et al. published the comprehensive review article entitled “Packed tubular
reactor modeling and catalyst design using computational fluid dynamics.” More than one …

Flow, heat, and mass transfer in fixed beds of catalyst particles are complex phenomena
and, when combined with catalytic reactions, are multiscale in both time and space; …

This work reports the results of a perspective workshop held in summer 2021 discussing the
current status and future needs for multiscale modeling in reaction engineering. This …

A promising workflow for computational generation and meshing of resolved-particle
randomly packed beds of arbitrary-shaped particles is described. The workflow is based on …

Independent from their intended purpose, the understanding of structural characteristics of
random packings of particles having defined shapes is important to understand and optimize …

This review presents the numerical algorithms and speed‐up strategies developed to couple
continuum macroscopic simulations and detailed microkinetic models in the context of …

A common reactor type in the chemical and process industry is the fixed-bed reactor.
Accurate modeling can be achieved with particle-resolved computational fluid dynamic …

The prediction of the pressure drop of packed beds requires an accurate estimation of the
packed-bed porosity as its error propagation multiplies the occurring errors by a factor of …

In this contribution to the Special Issue honoring 100 very successful years of Casale SA, we
review and critically discuss the current status of modeling the most demanding selective …
