Tubular Reactor Surrogate Model Application

Application ID: 120381


This tubular reactor application, together with its associated embedded model, demonstrates how the computational speed can be increased with the use of a surrogate model, as opposed to a fully-fledged finite element model. A surrogate model is a simpler, usually computationally cheaper model, which is used to approximate the behavior of a more complex, and often more computationally expensive, model. The faster model evaluation offered by the surrogate model provides the user of the app a more interactive user experience and makes it easier to spread the use of simulations in an organization.

This application example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
