DEM–CFD Investigation of Packing Structure Effects on the Thermal Decomposition of Limestone

open access: yesChemical Engineering &Technology, Volume 49, Issue 6, June 2026.
A coupled DEM–CFD–DOM model is developed to study the calcination of limestone in moving particle beds. By incorporating local porosity effects, the model captures how packing density influences radiative heat transfer and reaction progress. Results show calcination degree decreases with increasing packing density.

Hydrodynamics in a Bubble Column—Part 2: Three‐Phase Flow

open access: yesChemical Engineering &Technology, Volume 49, Issue 6, June 2026.
Multiphase computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation is a useful tool to study the hydrodynamics in a bubble column, if appropriate closure models exist. The present study extends a previous database to three‐phase flow experiments. This is achieved by using a combination of particle image velocimetry (PIV) and shadowgraphy to measure all phases ...
