Interparticle forces (IPFs) dominate the fluidization of fine and ultrafine particles and are
responsible for the formation of agglomerates. Two equivalent equations are proposed in …

Mixing of particles is important in fluidized beds. For a more accurate and realistic
investigation of this process, it is necessary to consider the inter-particle forces. The effect of …

The present study aims to describe the characteristics of the hydraulic transport of
manganese nodules in a vertical pipe. The solid–liquid two-phase flows were simulated …

The high velocity injection of gas in a particulate system leads to the formation of a gas–solid
structure characterized by enhanced momentum, mass, and heat transfers. This so-called jet …

To improve the recovery rate of clean coal, a liquid–solid fluidised bed is typically used to
process coarse coal slime of 0.25–1.5 mm. In this paper, a combination of experimental …

An integrated flow model was developed to simulate the fluidization hydrodynamics in a new
bubble‐driven gas–liquid–solid fluidized bed using the computational fluid dynamic (CFD) …

The present study evaluates elastic and inelastic contact forces in predicting the fluidization
characteristics of irregularly shaped Titania nanoparticle agglomerates in a bench-scale …

The air distributor is an important part of the gas–solid separation fluidized bed, which
directly determines the air distribution across the bed base. In this study, numerical …
