The DECHEMA/VDI "Fluid Dynamics and Separation Technology" Section covers processes that take place in fluid phases and are driven by mass and heat transfer. The topics include the thermodynamic and fluid dynamic fundamentals for process and apparatus design, in particular for processes for the separation of chemically and biotechnologically produced substances as well as the associated techniques for modeling (computational fluid dynamics methods, etc.) of material properties and processes. They are aimed at both classic unit operations and entire production chains.
The specialist section sees its task in the exchange of experience across committee boundaries, especially in the definition of research and development approaches via the specialist groups, the identification of "white spots" in the research landscape and in the contribution of the specialist section's expertise to adjacent fields of application. Cooperation with international specialist organizations is also supported by the specialist section.
