Multi-physics problems in mixing applications: A path via simulation

Poor mixing can result in losses in the millions of dollars/euros in the chemical and process industries.

CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and DEM (Discrete Element Modeling) simulation can be used to answer many of the questions associated with mixing--answers that cannot be found by analytical or experimental methods.

In this webinar, you will learn how process development engineers can benefit from using a template based app (Simcenter STAR-CCM+ Mixing Vessel Workflow, formerly known as Admixtus) to overcome the hurdles common to engineers new to simulation—setting up geometry, a reasonable mesh and adequate physics—to perform simulations and design exploration effectively and efficiently. You will also learn how the Multiphysics approach in Simcenter STAR-CCM+ can be used to address the challenges of using simulation for:

• Coupled DEM + CFD for particle suspension in high viscosity liquids
• Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) for impeller displacement
• Heat Transfer and its effects on scale-up
  
• Optimizing operating conditions in gas-liquid systems

Who should attend:

• Process development engineers or managers who want to troubleshoot mixing problems or employ Quality by Design initiatives--this event will help you understand the applicability of deploying simulation to achieve these objectives
• Chemical engineers, Process engineers, Formulation technology engineers who are already using CFD in engineering work flow - this session will demonstrate the strength of Simcenter STAR-CCM+® meshing, workflow and the latest physics models for some of the most challenging mixing problems in the industry
