Abstract
According to the characteristics of the catalyst-liquid two-phase flow in photocatalytic reactor for hydrogen production, an algebraic slip model has been selected to investigate the catalyst particle distributions. A block-structured non-uniform grid was applied to discretize the entire domain and an algebraic multi-grid (AMG) method was used to solve the pressure field. And the model was verified by comparisons of mean slurry pressure gradients with the experimental data in the former literature. The catalyst distributions and corresponding type map were obtained.
