Particle-resolved computational fluid dynamics modeling of coupled heat and mass transfer in fixed-bed adsorbers

Fixed-bed adsorbers are simulated at full particle-scale resolution to predict the coupled evolution of gas-mixture flow dynamics, mass transfer, adsorption kinetics, and heat effects during CO2 capture. A porous-based, direct-forcing immersed boundary method is developed and implemented in the open-source Computationa...
