Modeling, simulation and optimization of process chains

SPP 1679: Dynamische Simulation vernetzter Feststoffprozesse

The projected research aims at the simulation-based optimization of predictive models of coupled process chains. This makes it possible to optimize both the conditions of the single processes and the configuration of the entire process chain integrated into an MRT with respect to the desired particle properties. The methods and algorithms to be developed during the funding period build up a general toolbox for simulation and optimization of dynamic processes relevant to the SPP, thereby generalizing from the exemplary applications provided by batch processes, as nucleation and ripening, to process chains. This is made possible by integrating mathematical models including processes of more general but structurally equivalent type.
