| Summary: | In this work, a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was developed in Ansys Fluent to simulate the hydrodynamics of a perforated tray in a distillation column, using the Eulerian approach. The tray geometry and mesh were generated, and the initial and boundary conditions were configured to analyze phenomena such as multiphase interaction and the clear liquid height, calculated at h=0.0404 m, within an experimental range. The simulations faced limitations due to numerical instability, due to the coarse mesh (9 mm) and first-order schemes, affecting the accuracy in areas such as the tray holes and the overflow. Nevertheless, the model managed to capture the general behavior of the system, highlighting the need to use finer meshes (6 mm), second-order schemes or more advanced ones to improve stability and accuracy. |
