## Abstract The flow pattern in a trickleβbed reactor (TBR) filled with structured packings (SPs) is inspected within a wide range of gas and liquid velocities using air and water, or CMC solutions of different viscosities, as model fluids. Flow regime transitions are identified from the analysis o

Trickle bed reactors are governed by equations of flow in porous media such as Darcy's law and the conservation of mass. Our numerical method for solving these equations is based on a total-velocity splitting, sequential formulation which leads to an implicit pressure equation and a semi-implicit ma
## Abstract Local and average partial wetting efficiencies in trickleβbeds have been directly measured by image processing and PIV analysis. Two different setups have been implemented: a vertical monolayer of pellets where the wetting structure and stability and also local velocity gradient are cha
