Abstract
In this study, the hydrodynamics characteristics of packed column with structured sinusoidal corrugated sheets packings were investigated by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling and simulation method. The proposed CFD model was first validated by comparing simulation results with those of experimental data in terms of pressure drop under different inlet gas velocities. Then the effects of wave length, amplitude, angle and placement method on dry pressure drop were studied by control variable method. The relationship between F factor and pressure drop with different packing structures were investigated. The flow fields of pressure and velocity were analyzed and then used to calculate the resistance coefficient of structured packings. This simulation study can contribute to the evaluation and optimization of multiphase flow characteristics and the mass transfer performance of packed column.
