Description
Summary:Mathematical modelling and simulation of gasification processes are increasingly used in the scientific field. This review explores the application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in modeling biomass gasification processes in downdraft gasifiers. It discusses the different types of gasification agents used, the composition of syngas, and key operational parameters influencing the process. The review then delves into the aspects of CFD modeling, focusing on the implementation of sub-models within ANSYS fluent software. The limitations of the existing literature are addressed, and strategies for enhancing downdraft gasifier performance are proposed to facilitate successful commercialization. Different designs of downdraft gasifiers. Gasifier with open top (1), gasifier with closed (2).
