Fluid flow, multiphase systems chemically reactive flows

The current progress of CFD enables computational experiments in a reactor apparatus to reveal the RTD. Typically, CFD is used for nonreactive fluid systems, but nowadays reactive systems can also be computed as discussed in Ref [8]. The difficulties of CFD, however, increase considerably as multiphase systems with chemical reactions are examined. For this reason, a logical approach is to utilize CFD to catch the essential features of the flow pattern and to use this information in classical reactor models based on RTDs.
