Improving the yield and selectivity of chemical reactions is one of the challenging tasks in
paving the way for a more sustainable and climate-friendly economy. For the industrially …

This review summarizes the various methods implemented with computational fluid
dynamics (CFD) to predict mass transfer in structured packings. Interfacial mass transfer …

The paper describes a coupling of the geometric Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) method with a sharp-
interface phase-change model for Cartesian and axisymmetric grids. Both the interfacial …

Turbulent flows laden with large, deformable drops are ubiquitous in nature and in a wide
range of industrial processes. Prediction of the interactions between drops, which deform …

Abstract Direct Numerical Simulations are performed to investigate the gas-liquid mass
transfer around a rising spherical bubble contaminated by insoluble surfactants. The …

We present volume-of-fluid (VOF) based simulations of coupled transport and reaction
processes in microscale segmented flow microreactors. The simulations implemented in …

Two-phase flows involving heat/mass transfer are widespread in industrial and
environmental applications such as chemical reactors, bubbly flows, combustion, boiling …

We perform direct numerical simulations of a gas bubble dissolving in a surrounding liquid.
The bubble volume is reduced due to dissolution of the gas, with the numerical …

Abstract Most methods for Direct Numerical Simulations of interfacial species transfer across
fluid interfaces suffer from poor stability, accuracy and/or the loss of conservativeness or …

This paper presents a novel unified single-field formulation for Volume-Of-Fluid simulation of
interfacial mass transfer with local volume changes. By comparison with the previous …
