Use of CFD for pressure drop, liquid saturation and wetting predictions in trickle bed reactors for different catalyst particle shapes

[Display omitted] •Multiphase flow simulation in Trickle-Bed Reactors (TBR) using the Volume-Of-Fluid approach (VOF)•Pressure drop, liquid saturation and wetting efficiency prediction are investigated.•Three different catalyst shape particle loadings: spheres, trilobes and quadrilobes are studied.•S...
