Comparison of Turbulence Models for the Prediction of Hydrodynamics of Packed Beds under Supercritical Fluid Condition

The rate of transfer processes in packed bed is governed by the hydrodynamics of the bed. Therefore, the study of fluid flow within the bed using suitable turbulence model is crucial. This comparative study of four turbulence models (standard k-ε, RNG k-ε, realizable k¬-ε and SST k¬-ω) was performed...
