linuxguy123 Member Guy Join Date: Jun 2019 Posts: 44 Rep Power: 7	I would like to set up a reaction simulation of 2 gases in the presence of a solid catalyst. Literature tells me that the speed of the reaction is influenced by the surface area of the catalyst, ie its surface finish. How do I account for the surface finish of the catalyst in my simulation ? What solvers should I be considering for this simulation ? Thanks
