Abstract: Nowadays, gasification is seen as a worldwide settled technique for sustainably generating energy from residues. Its final product is a synthetic gas which may be used for several purposes such as fueling engines, industry and the transport sector. This technique involves several complex reactions, different thermodynamic regimes and environments, and may be held under a myriad of operational conditions. Thus, simulation tools have become very useful to predict the optimal parameters to be applied and the heating content of the final product, therefore producing the most suitable syngas for the desired utilizations. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) reduces the time needed to design and implement each gasification experiment, using mathematical approaches and developing specific codes regarding the type of feedstock, reactor utilized and expected atmosphere.
