Overview
Biomass thermochemical conversion, such as pyrolysis, gasification, and combustion, etc., has attracted more and more attention and interest from both scientific and industrial communities because of the increased burden from energy security and environmental concern. Through biomass thermochemical conversion, either high energy-density biofuel or direct heat can be obtained from raw biomass, which can supplement traditional fossil fuels significantly. However, the actual processes occurring during biomass thermochemical conversion are rather complex, largely hindering our understanding its fundamentals and developing advanced technologies for better utilization. In the last decades, with the rapid increase of computational capacity, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has played increased role in almost all areas of scientific investigations and industrial applications, of course including biomass thermochemical conversion. Nowadays, CFD has widely been viewed as an indispensable complement to the traditional experimental approach in the studies of biomass thermochemical conversion. Though in the last decade, especially the recent five years, a sheer volume of scientific papers have been published, to the best of our knowledge, there has not been a special issue so far specifically devoted to highlight the current status and future directions of CFD modeling of biomass thermochemical conversion.
The aim of this special issue is to present readers a high-level platform for world-renown researchers to report their most up-to-date progress in CFD simulation of biomass thermochemical conversion and shed light on the cutting-edge directions for future developments. Model developments, engineering applications and experimental validations from individual particle scale to integrated process scale are the primary scopes of this special issue. Original research articles in the following topics are particularly welcome:
1. Model derivation and algorithm development of CFD methods to simulate multiscale physicochemical phenomena from particle to system scales in biomass thermochemical conversion.
2. Using CFD to reveal the fundamental phenomena associated to biomass thermochemical conversion to advance our knowledge for engineering accurate submodel development.
3. High performance computing aided CFD modeling of biomass thermochemical conversion for either high resolution or large scale.
4. Coupling CFD with other computer simulation approaches, such as molecular dynamics and/or process modeling for comprehensive computer simulation of biomass thermochemical conversion.
5. Using comprehensive CFD modeling to derive reduced-order (0-dimension, 1-dimension) simulation models for quick estimation of design and intensification of biomass thermochemical conversion.
6. Application of CFD to process intensification of biomass thermochemical conversion and their benefits.
7. Experimental validation and uncertainty analysis of CFD simulation of biomass thermochemical conversion.
