Fluent's CFD software helps you to quantify residence times, mixing rates, scaling effects, and overall chemical conversion in a wide range of reactor systems, including packed beds, fluidized beds, recirculating beds, plug flow or tube reactors, and stirred tank reactors. Fluent provides the flexibility you need for description of reactions and the sophistication you need for prediction of gas-solid, gas-liquid, or liquid-solid multiphase systems.

Polymerization reactor vessel - prediction of flow separation and residence time effects.

Instantaneous solids concentration in a riser, showing how a baffle plate can be used to distribute flow and produce uniform delivery of catalyst to the reactor.

Bubble Column -- Void fraction in a bubble column. CFD assists in the design of bubble columns that minimize phase segregation and promote recirculation cells. Fluent leads in delivering robust computations for these complex systems.
