CFD & process simulation framework – Multiscale digital twin - ERP Spain.com - España y América Latina

Many reacting flows, including polymerization, are commonly encountered in various processes and applications in the chemical and process industries. The yield and conversion in this equipment are influenced by flow patterns in the apparatus, mixing, and residence time distribution.

 

Join this live webinar as we discuss accurate modeling of complex chemical processes with simulation and how the required model parameters and material properties can be provided by Simcenter Culgi.

 

 

CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations allow detailed analysis, understanding and optimization of such processes but require an adequate description of the changing material behavior and reaction kinetics. This data is typically challenging and therefore expensive to determine experimentally. That is even more critical when different formulations must be screened. With coarse-grain computational chemistry, such parameters can be determined quickly and cost-effectively.

 

 

A free radical polymerization model is included in STAR-CCM+ based on the method of moments. A simplified polymerization approach will also be covered that focuses on reactive groups and step-growth polymerization. This allows for a polymerization framework or custom models to simulate polymerization reaction together with fluid flow and thermal in Simcenter STAR-CCM+.

 

 

In this webinar, we introduce the combination of reactive flow modeling capabilities (Simcenter STAR-CCM+) and computational chemistry (Simcenter Culgi) for the chemical & process industry, which includes:

 

- Catalytic reactions for methane conversion and hydrogen production

- Reactions in liquid systems, including micro-mixing effects

- Polymerization in single and multiphase systems

 

Finally, we will cover the benefits of redefining CAE simulation to achieve operational excellence. Register to attend this live webinar and learn how Simcenter Culgi can be used to determine material properties like viscosity and how, for example, the computational rheometer can be coupled with Simcenter STAR-CCM+.
