New Methodology for Benchmarking Hydrodynamics in Bubble Columns with Intense Internals Using the Radioactive Particle Tracking (RPT) Technique

Hydrodynamics of a Gas-Solid Fluidized Bed at Elevated Temperatures Using the Radioactive Particle Tracking Technique

Effect of temperature on hydrodynamics of bubbling gas-solid fluidized beds was investigated.  Experiments were carried out in the range of 25-600 ºC and different superficial gas velocities in the range of 0.17-0.78 m/s with sand particles. Time-position trajectory of particles was obtained by radioactive particle tracking technique. These data were used for determination of mean velocitie...

Bubble Induced Mixing with Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics

W ithin this thesis, the Computational Fluid Dynamics method Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is applied to simulate bubble induced mixing in wastewater treatment plants for the first time. To do so, a new SPH multiphase algorithm is presented that is especially designed to be very cheap in terms of computational costs and solves the problem that air bubbles are only stable for a short tim...

A New Modified Particle Filter With Application in Target Tracking

The particle filter (PF) is a novel technique that has sufficiently good estimation results for the nonlinear/non-Gaussian systems. However, PF is inconsistent that caused mainly by loss of particle diversity in resampling step and unknown a priori knowledge of the noise statistics. This paper introduces a new modified particle filter called adaptive unscented particle filter (AUPF) to overcome th...
