In this work, a coupled computational fluid dynamics–discrete element method (CFD–DEM)
approach was employed to evaluate the spouting behavior of fine, cohesive powders in a …

Spouted beds operation quality and stability often suffer from spout deflection, which means
the spout channel shows a lateral movement instead of vertical spouting. A comprehensive …

Detailed knowledge about the gas-solid heat and mass transfer is essential for the design
and optimization of the fluidized bed coating process. Coupled computational fluid dynamics …

The semi-dry flue gas desulfurization process in the conventional spouted bed (CSB),
integral multi-jet spouted bed (IMJSFB), spouted bed with longitudinal vortex generator (SB …

The discrete element method (DEM) coupled with computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
method is regarded as a standard approach for a simulation of a gas-solid mixture system. In …

We show the potential of coupling numerical and experimental approaches in the
fundamental understanding of catalytic reactors, and in particular fluidized beds. The …

The effect of draft tubes and fountain confiner on the gas and solids mixing behavior is
studied in conical spouted beds. Accordingly, the bed porosity has been determined in …

Spout incoherence is a typical instability phenomenon in spouted beds, in which the
particles in the spout region move upward as groups, leading to poor spouting stability and …

In this study, the effects of contact force modeling parameters, which included the particle–
particle friction coefficient (A), spring constant (B), ratio of the tangential spring constant to …

Computational simulation is an important tool for design and improvement of industrial units.
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) coupled with the discrete element method (DEM) has …
