Simulated preparation of supported porous catalyst and evaluation of its reaction-transport properties

In this contribution, mathematical model for the description of solvent evaporation and noble metal crystallization in a porous medium is presented. The methodology is based on the volume-of-fluid method and the aim is validation of the model by comparing the numerical simulation results with analytical solutions for evaporation from a single pore and for particle growth and Ostwald ripening of two freely suspended particles in a saturated solution.
