[Application of numerical simulation in modern manufacturing of traditional Chinese medicine preparations]

Since the implementation of the development strategy for traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) modernization, numerical simulation has become a vital technical tool for studying TCM manufacturing processes. Using computers to simulate and analyze complex physical phenomena and related equipment in pharmaceutical production contributes to optimizing process parameters, improving equipment performance, and enhancing product quality. This paper systematically reviews the application of numerical simulation in the manufacturing of pills, tablets, capsules, granules, and liquid formulations over the past decade. Furthermore, it discusses practical challenges in its application and offers corresponding development suggestions. The aim is to promote deeper integration of numerical simulation into the TCM manufacturing system and support high-quality development of the TCM industry.
