Modelling Requirements for Particle Agglomeration in Fluid Flows (INVITED)

Abstract eng:
Particle agglomeration is important for many unit operations in process technology. A numerical calculation of such processes requires appropriate models for describing the agglomeration itself and the behaviour of the agglomerates in the flow. This implies the occurrence of collisions, the sticking probability of particles, the mapping of the agglomerate structure and the fluid dynamic drag of complex agglomerates. Models accounting for these elementary processes were developed, implemented in an in-house numerical code and tested for several flow situations, including a spray dryer.
