The CRC examines reacting moving granular assemblies with gas flow, an important unit operation in energy process engineering.
We develop models for reactive particle systems from DNS up to large-scale reactor simulations by DEM/CFD. Additionally, we focus on innovating measurement techniques that provide a detailed insight into the phenomena in moving, reacting particle beds.
The CRC is funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation ) Project ID 422037413 – CRC 287.
