Abstract Structured packings are often incorporated in industrial equipment as a way of enhancing the efficiency or as support of catalysts and microorganisms. They may operate in single‐, two‐ or three‐phase flow and natural convection can be present. The fluid‐dynamic and mass transfer behavior of spaced and stacked structured packings for these conditions is systematically analyzed.
