Abstract
In this chapter, a general description of mathematical modeling using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is presented. The numerical approximation to the conservation equations is presented in accordance with the form used by the commercial CFD code “PHOENICS.” The modifications required to adapt PHOENICS for the analysis of momentum and energy transfer in thermal sterilization are also presented.
