CFD and experimental studies on capture of fine particles by liquid droplets in open spray towers

A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model to predict the capture of particles by liquid droplets in spray towers has been developed and tested against experiments made in a semi-scale test rig and in a full-scale spray tower used for wet flue gas desulphurization (WFGD) in one operating coal fired...
