First, a brief information about drying is given with determining important properties that effect drying characteristics. Next, basic principles of CFD modelling are explained while capabilities of computational processing are presented. A detailed literature survey about CFD studies in convective drying process is then conducted. Finally, some sound concluding remarks are listed. It may be concluded that the CFD is a powerful and flexible tool that can be adopted to many different physical situations including complex scenarios, results of CFD simulations represent good predictions for fluid-flow, heat and mass transfer of various drying methods and those numerical studies can be used for validation and controlling of applicability of new drying systems. © 2023 Society of Thermal Engineers of SerbiaEnglishAll Open Access; Bronze Open AccessDryingFlow of fluidsHeat convectionMass transferNumerical methodsBasic principlesCFD modelingComputational fluid dynamics simulationsComputational processingConvective dryingDrying characteristicsDrying processFlexible toolLiterature surveyPropertyComputational fluid dynamicsArticle10.2298/TSCI220225070O
