Prof. Ricardo de Andrade Medronho started working with CFD in his stay as a visiting researcher at the German Center for Biotechnology (GBF - Gesellschaft für Biotechnologische Forschung) between 1998 and 2000. Upon returning to Brazil in 2001, he obtained a small room at the School of Chemistry/UFRJ and there started the first Lab CFD. The first two students of the Lab were Alana Leahy-Dios (currently, Reservoir Engineering Supervisor at ExxonMobil Upstream Oil and Gas, USA) and Sarita Queiroz Simões (currently, Group Training and Competency Manager at TWMA, UK). Thereafter, the Lab CFD began to have more and more students, and had to move to a larger space in the LADEQ (Laboratories of the Chemical Engineering Department building) and, from there, once again expanded its space by moving to the NBPD (Biofuels, Petroleum and its Derivatives Center) of the School of Chemistry/UFRJ, where it remains until today. Just as the Lab CFD area increased, its team restricted initially to Prof. Medronho only also grew and counts today with Prof. Tania Suaiden Klein, Prof. Luiz Fernando Lopes Rodrigues Silva, Prof. Fabio Pereira dos Santos and Prof. Karina Moita de Almeida.
Computational Fluid Dynamics is a field of study of great importance not only in all areas of engineering (Aeronautics, Agricultural, Food, Environmental, Biomedical, Civil, Control and Automation, Mining, Electrical, Electronics, Materials, Mechanics, Mechatronics, Metallurgy, Naval, Chemical, Oil and Gas, and so on) as well as in architecture (environmental comfort, natural ventilation by the action of open or confined spaces, and so forth), meteorology (weather forecast, and so on and so forth). By CFD it is possible to obtain numerical solutions, by computational methods, of conservation equations of momentum and mass (equations of motion and continuity, respectively). Depending on the problem under analysis, these equations can eventually be coupled to other conservation equations, such as the energy and concentration equations of a given chemical species.
CFD allows the study of flows that can not be easily measured or simulated experimentally, such as the flow inside cyclones and hydrocyclones, the leakage of toxic or flammable gases in confined or open environments, combustion, oil tanker flows, on risers, on bioreactors and around cars, planes or rockets, the weather forecast, and so on and so forth.
In this way, CFD is, today, an indispensable tool for the researcher and the engineer. The use of CFD allows a drastic reduction in the time required and the cost involved in both the design and the prediction of equipment performance. In addition, the understanding of the fluid dynamics inside the equipment allows a perfect understanding of the phenomena involved, allowing the researcher / engineer to intervene in the operational or design variables in order to improve the performance of these equipments
equipamentos.
The Laboratory of Computational Fluid Dynamics - LabCFD - was created in 2001 and aims to enable the students of the Escola de Química / UFRJ to develop their doctoral, master's and scientific initiation work on CFD.
LabCFD is located in the Nucleus of Biofuels, Petroleum and its Derivatives (NBPD-LADEQ II), located at Rua Moniz de Aragão, s / n, Block K, 2nd floor, Technology Center, Ilha do Fundão, CEP 21941- 972, Rio de Janeiro - RJ. The LabCFD infrastructure includes:

Assessment of Disruptive Technologies for Natural Gas Purification with Various Moisture and C02 Contents: Supersonic Separation and Adsorption Separation
Objective: The overall objective of the project is the development of protocols to ensure the performance of natural gas dehydration units, as well as the development of a supersonic separator for removal of C02 from natural gas with its and phenomenological and experimental characterization. Protocols to be developed aim to evaluate adsorbents and operating conditions for moisture removal from pre-salt natural gas streams containing high levels of C02; calibrate and certify moisture meters for low water contents (below 10 ppm); and evaluate adsorbents for moisture-tolerant C02 removal (porous amorphous matrices, PAFs) by molecular simulation. For the supersonic separator design, the aim is to improve the mathematical modeling of the problem and implement it in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes, as well as carry out experiments on pilot-scale prototypes to generate data to validate the numerical simulations and mathematical modeling.

Scalability Assessment of Membrane Prototypes Using Computational Fluid Dynamics
Objective: Since its exploration began in 2006, the pre-salt layer has been the largest source of hydrocarbon production in Brazil. Studies indicate that the Santos basin has the largest reserves of oil and gas produced in the entire country. However, the reservoirs contain a high level of C02 in production, which compromises quality and profit. Therefore, much investment has been made in separation technologies over the last few years, especially in membrane processes. This work addresses the evaluation of the scale-up for separation of C02 and natural gas using hollow fiber membrane modules. This work addresses the evaluation of the scale-up for separation of C02 and natural gas using hollow fiber membrane modules. The analysis should be performed by numerical simulations of the fluid dynamics in the equipment. In this sense, the fluid dynamics should contemplate the real gas modeling, the mass transport effect through the membranes, according to the needs of the adopted operating ranges, and the coupling between the high and low pressure regions. Finally, the study must assess the performance of the equipment in prototype scale (2'' diameter) and commercial scale (8'' and 12'' diameter).
