Carbon dioxide capture and dissolution in turbulent and laminar flows under
different rheological conditions with implications in decarbonization processes
The PhD will be integrated in the framework of a financed project oriented
towards the advance in the fundamental knowledge of the hydrodynamics and mass
transfer phenomena associated with the carbon dioxide (CO2) gas dissolution
process in liquid flows with different spatial scales. We have selected complex
flow systems with scientific, industrial, technological and biomedical interest
to perform the analysis of the CO2 dissolution using modelization,
computational fluid dynamics and the application of advanced flow visualization
and measurement techniques. These systems include two-phase flows in
microchannels, pipes and bubble columns with liquids with different rheological
conditions.
Examples of the experience of the group in simulation and experiments of
multiphase flows can be found in:
