What are the key challenges in fluid dynamics for catalysis?
One of the primary challenges is dealing with multiphase systems, such as gas-liquid or liquid-solid mixtures. These systems can exhibit complex behaviors like phase separation and interface instabilities. Additionally, turbulence can significantly affect mass transfer and reaction rates, making it difficult to predict and control the outcomes. Non-Newtonian fluids, which do not have a constant viscosity, add another layer of complexity.
