These researchers build flow reactor models and simulate flows and chemistry using Fluent. There are temperature differences in the experiment that drive convection. The overall flow is given by a certain mass flow rate of nitrogen gas.  A low vapor pressure acid, H₂SO₄, is reacted with fairly volatile base species, such as ammonia and dimethylamine. In 2023, the group plans to continue 3D modeling of their flow reactor experiments on the photo-oxidation of alpha-pinene and of SO₂.
