Gas flow simulations in a structured packing by lattice Boltzmann method
Numerical simulations of gas flow between two sheets of plastic Mellapak (TM) 250 Y are performed using Lattice Boltzmann methods in laminar and turbulent regimes. Results are compared with experimental measurements and with known correlations. They are also compared with simulations using a classical CFD code. In all cases, the agreement is very good.
