• Multiscale modelling of packed bed chemical looping reforming 

      Singhal, Arpit; Cloete, Schalk Willem Petrus; Quinta-Ferreira, Rosa; Amini, Shahriar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      A comparison of reactive flows on two distinct scales is presented here (i) Particle resolved direct numerical simulation (PR-DNS), and (ii) 1D packed bed model. The PR-DNS geometry is meshed with polyhedral elements both ...
    • Study of the Thermal Performance of Industrial Alumina Chlorination Reactor Based on CPFD Simulation 

      Barahmand, Zahir; Jayarathna, Chameera; Ratnayake, Chandana (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      As a part of the new sustainable aluminum production process under study, alumina chlorination plays a crucial role. The relevant process is an exothermic reaction in a fluidized bed reactor. The solid alumina reacts with ...
