【 摘 要 】

Two dimensions of Computational Fluid Dynamics simulation for gas flow in the column with filling material as bed at low particle Reynolds numbers and high particle Reynolds numbers have been presented. The simulation test has been done with the column length 0.9 m. Porous media model was used to simulate the gas flow inside porous granular media. Model of standard k-e for the flow turbulent range was used; the difference on the mesh size used to study effect it on the performance of gas flow through porous media. The result of flow rate of the gas was an important variable influencing bed and there are good results between the CFD simulation of pressure drop and the predicted values from Ergun model, and Computational Fluid Dynamics gave us simulation with high details for porous flow in packed bed equipment.
