Abstract

Particulate two-phase flows are characterized by multiscale and nonlinear interactions. The coupling simulation of the reaction and transfer process is a critical problem in many industrial applications. Innovations in modeling techniques, including the treatments of complicated boundary conditions and improved chemical reaction models, have greatly enhanced computational accuracy and feasibility. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the progress made in particle-resolved direct numerical simulation (PR-DNS) for investigating the complex phenomena in reacting particulate two-phase flows, with a focus on insights into reaction models, interphase heat and mass transfer, and hydrodynamic forces. PR-DNS has been applied to a range of reaction processes, such as combustion, gasification, and catalytic reactions, revealing critical phenomena such as Stefan flow effects and particle-scale interactions by resolving detailed flow fields around particles. Despite promising prospects, PR-DNS still presents challenges in terms of computational cost, model refinement, and multiscale integration. Recent advancements in emerging computational methodologies, particularly machine learning frameworks and hybrid multiscale modeling approaches, are expected to offer viable pathways to address these technical limitations.
