Abstract
The main aim of the work was to estimate the interfacial area of two-phase flow through the structured packing with the aid of CFD methods. A counter- current gas liquid flow on a different geometry of packing was analysed. Th e results show that the influence of microstructure on flow hydrodynamics d epends on physicochemical parameters of considered liquids. The influence o f liquid and gas velocities on the effective interfacial area was analysed too.
