Sommario/riassunto

The book shows how to numerically capture important physical phenomena within a spray drying process using the CFD technique. It includes numerical strategies to describe these phenomena, collated from research work and CFD industrial consultation. Along with showing how to set up models, the book helps readers identify the capabilities and uncertainties of the CFD technique for spray drying. It covers basics of CFD, airflow modeling, atomization and particle tracking, droplet drying, quality modeling, agglomeration and wall deposition modeling, and simulation validation techniques. It answers questions related to common challenges in industrial applications.
