Popis: To develop and validate meshes for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of transport in fixed beds, a single particle is often used as a test case. We present results for drag coefficient (CD) and heat transfer Nusselt number (Nu) for flow past a sphere, focusing on high flow rates typical of industrial steam reformers (400
