计算流体力学在化学工程中的应用

Application of Computational Fluid Dynamics in Chemical Engineering

计算流体力学前期是流体力学的分支,最早在化学工程领域中的应用,比较简单,主要应用于流体流动方面的研究和应用;后来传质过程也被添加到其中,现在化学反应、波动理论等也被整合到计算流体力学中。在化工领域,计算流体力学已经成为一门独立的学科,既可以在众多领域解决化工问题,还对于发展新的化工技术、解决研究和工程难题有很大的促进作用。本文从计算流体力学基本原理出发,总结现代计算流体力学在化工工程各个领域的具体应用。

The early stage of computational fluid dynamics is a branch of fluid dynamics. The earliest application in the field of chemical engineering is relatively simple,mainly applied to the research and application of fluid flow; later mass transfer process is added into it. Now chemical reaction and wave theory etc. are also integrated into computational fluid dynamics. In the field of chemical engineering, computational fluid dynamics has become an independent discipline,which can not only solve chemical problems in many fields, but also greatly promote the development of new chemical technologies and solving research as well as engineering problems. Based on the basic principles of computational fluid dynamics,this paper summarizes the specific applications of modern computational fluid dynamics in various fields of chemical engineering.
