...Joshua B. Drake; Theodore J. Heindel Fluidized beds are common equipment in many process industries. Knowledge of the hydrodynamics within a fluidized bed on the local scale is important for the improvement of scale-up and process efficiencies. This knowledge is lacking due to limited observational...

...Seyyed Hossein Hosseini; Wenqi Zhong; Mohsen Nasr Esfahany; Leila Pourjafar; Salar Azizi A two-dimensional transient Eulerian model integrating the kinetic theory for emulsion phase is used to simulate the bubbling and slugging gas-solid fluidized beds, including the Geldart B and D particles...

...Jin Sun; Francine Battaglia; Shankar Subramaniam Simulations of gas-solid fluidized beds have been performed using a hybrid simulation method, which couples the discrete element method (DEM) for particle dynamics with the averaged two-fluid (TF) continuum equations for the gas phase. The coupling...
