Announcement


2nd International Workshop on Reacting Particle-Gas Systems

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.
