Abstract: The most widely used and well-studied microfiber catalysts are glass-fiber catalysts (GFCs), which use glass-fiber cloth as a carrier. The importance of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling of structured beds of micro-fibrous catalysts lies in its ability to enhance understanding and optimization of the catalytic processes. This chapter outlines the most recent achievements in the field of CFD modeling of GFC-based catalytic cartridges. The object of the simulation was structured catalytic cartridges consisting of glass-fiber catalytic fabrics and structuring metal meshes. A complete system of equations describing the motion of a viscous fluid in a Cartesian system is discussed. CFD calculations were able to describe the theoretically proposed and experimentally observed regularities of mass transfer processes in GFC structures, including those existing only in GFCs.
