CFD simulation for segregation behavior of a ternary mixture in a bubbling fluidized bed: effect of solid wall boundary condition

Abstract The effect of the solid–wall boundary condition on the segregation behavior of a sand ternary mixture differing in size but having the same proportion has been investigated in a gas–solid bubbling fluidized bed. A multi-fluid computational fluid dynamics model incorporating the kinetic theory of granular flow has been used. The mass fraction profiles of the different-sized partic...

3D Eulerian simulation of a gas-solid bubbling fluidized bed: assessment of drag coefficient correlations

Fluidized beds have been widely used in power generation and in the chemical, biochemical, and petroleum industries. The 3D simulation of commercial scale fluidized beds has been computationally impractical due to the required memory and processor speeds. However, in this study, 3D Computational Fluid Dynamics simulation of a gas-solid bubbling fluidized bed is performed to investigate the effe...

Fundamental Bubbling Characteristics in a Rotating Fluidized Bed: Modeling and Measurement of Bubble Size

Modeling and measurement of bubble size in a rotating fluidized bed (RFB) were conducted. The model for predicting the bubble growth in RFB has been proposed based on the following concepts: (i) local centrifugal acceleration and excess gas velocity are considered as the parameters in the radial direction, and (ii) bubble volume flow locally changes depending on the radial distance. Bubbling be...
