Gas-solid fluidization technology has been commercialized in many industrial applications
since its implementation in the fluid catalytic cracking process in the early 1940s, however …

In practical engineering applications, the mixing and separation behavior of multi-
component particles is importance to the fluidized bed operation. The development of many …

Coarse-grid two-fluid simulation of gas-solid fluidized bed reactors based on the kinetic
theory of granular flow exhibits a significant dependence on drag models, especially for …

Abstract Eulerian–Eulerian and Eulerian-Lagrangian numerical approaches are both widely
used to investigate hydrodynamic behavior in dense gas-solid fluidized bed reactors, yet …

The EMMS/bubbling drag model takes the effects of meso-scale structures (ie bubbles) into
modeling of drag coefficient and thus improves coarse-grid simulation of bubbling and …

A fluidized bed of Geldart-A particles is promoted as heat transfer fluid in the tubular solar
receivers of solar towers. A pressure-driven upward particle flow affects the hydrodynamic …

The previous sub-grid, energy-minimization multi-scale (EMMS) drag models were all
established at certain fixed operating conditions and material properties. In this study, we …

In the present work, the hydrodynamics behavior of a 3D small-scale cold flow modeling of a
gas-solid tapered fluidized bed is evaluated with the Eulerian-Eulerian two-fluid modeling …

Scale-up of fluidized bed reactors has long been regarded as a big challenge in chemical
reaction engineering. While traditional scaling theories are mostly based on hydrodynamics …

Particle-resolved direct numerical simulation (PR-DNS) of flow past a particle cluster is
conducted to analyze the influence of heterogeneous particle distribution on the gas–solid …
