Comparison of a fully coupled and a decoupled solver for the simulation of Fluid Catalytic Cracking Paper number 341c

چکیده
The ongoing research effort presented here aims at finding the most time-effective solver for reactive flow problems with strong volumetric expansion, and strong feedback effects of the reactions on the flow. This solver has to perform steady-state simulations of important chemical processes involving multiphase flow and detailed kinetics with minimal total CPU time requirements. This total CPU time requirement is the product of CPU time per iteration and the number of iterations required to obtain convergence.
