The computational fluid dynamics(CFD) software Fluent was used to simulate preliminarily the fluid dynamics in the rotating packed bed(RPB) reactors.The turbulent flow of gas phase was modeled by the RNG k-e turbulent model,while the liquid flow was modeled by the Lagrange Discrete Phase Model(DPM) of multiphase flow.A simplified two-dimensional model for RPB was established to study the distribution of radial and tangential velocity of the liquid particles in RPB and the effects of rotating speed on the liquid particle velocity.Results indicate that the liquid particles velocity increases with rising rotating speed;however,rotating speed has little effect on the droplet radial velocity.The effects of rotating speed and gas inlet velocity on the pressure drop in dry bed were also investigated.It was found that the pressure drop increases slightly with rising rotating speed.In addition,it shows that a strong end effect exists at the inner edge of the packed zone,and the simulating results demonstrate that the turbulent intensity in the end effect region is significantly higher than that in other regions.
