Packing of Hollow Cylinders (Catalysts) in a Tube: a DEM Simulation

Packing of Hollow Cylinders (Catalysts) in a Tube: a DEM Simulation

In many occasion in process industries (i.e. chemical engineering), we need to create a random packed bed of Catalysts. Packing of Hollow Cylinders in reactor (heterogeneous catalytic reaction) tubes can be simulated using DEM. This packing will then be used in other reactor flow simulations for more detailed kinetics, heat…
