The key attribute of flows in micro devices is their laminar character, which stands in contrast to the mostly turbulent flows in macroscopic process equipment. Owing to this feature, micro flows are a priori much more accessible to a model description than macro flows and can be described by first-principle approaches without any further assumptions. In contrast, for the simulation of turbulent flows usually a number of semi-heuristic models are applied, and in many situations it is not clear which description is most adequate for the problem under investigation. As a result, it stands to reason to assume that a rational design of micro reactors... 

Because the CA are well suited to the description of temporal phenomena, it will be no surprise that an early application of CA in science was in hydro-dynamic flow. Wolfram, who has been an enthusiastic advocate of CA, has used them successfully in the simulation of turbulent flow — a demanding area for simulations of any type. Indeed, Wolfram s work covers a range of topics in physics and uptake of the method among scientists owes much to his work.4...

The modelling of super critical water oxidation (SCWO), up to now not been used in large scale industrial applications, is important for design of pilot plants and, later, industrial plants. The applied programme to model the continuous flow in a reactor is called CAST (Computer Aided Simulation of Turbulent Flows [8]) and is based on the method of the finite volume. That means that the balance equations were integrated over the surfaces of each control volume.
