Modelling and Optimisation of Fluid-Particle Processes in Environmental Engineering

This comprehensive book explores fluid-particle interaction processes in environmental engineering, combining theoretical foundations with advanced numerical simulation techniques.Covering eight key areas from particle agglomeration to membrane fouling, the work integrates fundamental physics with practical computational tools to address critical challenges in environmental systems and reactor design. It provides a detailed overview of hydrodynamic modelling, interparticle forces, and membrane separation dynamics, alongside practical numerical simulation approaches for real-world applications.It also delivers essential insights into solid-liquid interface processes, mathematical modelling for fouling prediction, and design optimisation strategies for stirred tank reactors, rotatory vortex pelleting systems, and hydrothermal carbonisation reactors.Readers will gain access to proven methodologies that bridge theoretical understanding with practical implementation, offering workflow simpl
