Multiphase reactors are found in many diverse applications such as the manufacture of petroleum-based fuels, commodity and speciality chemicals,

pharmaceuticals, biochemical and the production of polymers. The understanding of complex fluid dynamic behaviours in the multiphase reactors has

been studied through computational flow modelling. This workshop provides state-of-the-art modelling methods for various multiphase reactors in

terms of fundamental as well as industrial applications such as petroleum, chemical, biological and thermal processes and mineral processing.

Objectives

• Identify the different types of multiphase reactors involving gas-liquid and gas-liquid-solid flows such as bubble column reactor, loop reactor, stirred

reactor, packed bed reactor, fluidised bed reactor and their operating parameters and various industrial applications;

• Understand fundamentals of multiphase reactors in terms of fluid dynamics, flow regimes, mixing, and mass transfer;

• Have a knowledge about advanced modelling methods of multiphase reactor including Eulerian-Eulerian approach, Eulerian Lagragian approach,

and Volume of Fluid approach;

• Design and scale-up aspects of multiphase reactor for industrial applications such as petroleum refinery-FCC, chemical processes, biological

processes, mineral processing, and thermal process of pyrolysis, combustion and gasification through CFD modelling.
