چکیده
— We consider a nonlinear partial differential équation ansing in fluidtzed bed modelhng which has been numencally studied by Christie and Ganser These authors found that apparently reasonable implicit numerical schemes turn out either to be unconditionally unstable or to perform well only if the time step is suitably large. We analyze this strange behaviour and suggest a scheme which does not suffer from stabihty problems We prove the convergence of the new scheme and provide some numerical illustrations Resumé — Nous considérons une équation aux dérivées partielles non linéaire qui apparaît dans la modélisation des lits fluides et qui a été étudiée numériquement par Christie et Ganser Ces auteurs ont trouvé que quelques méthodes « raisonnables » du type implicite ou bien montrent un comportement inconditionnellement instable ou bien ont une bonne performance seulement si le pas Af est assez grand Nous étudions cet étrange comportement et nous donnons une méthode qui n'offre aucun problème de stabilité Nous prouvons la convergence de la nouvelle méthode et nous ajoutons des essais numériques

Evaluation of Eulerian Two-Fluid Numerical Method for the Simulation of Heat Transfer in Fluidized Beds
Accurate modeling of fluidization and heat transfer phenomena in gas-solid fluidized beds is not solely dependent on the particular selected numerical model and involved algorithms. In fact, choosing the right model for each specific operating condition, the correct implementation of each model, and the right choice of parameters and boundary conditions, determine the accuracy of the results i...
متن کاملCFD-DEM Investigation on van der Waals Force in Gas-Solid Bubbling Fluidized Beds
Effect of interparticle force on the hydrodynamics of gas-solid fluidized beds was investigated using the combined method of computational fluid dynamics and discrete element method (CFD-DEM). The cohesive force between particles was considered to follow the van der Waals equation form. The model was validated by experimental results from literature in terms of bed voidage distribution and Eule...
متن کاملA Numerical Study on Agglomeration in High Temperature Fluidized beds
Soft-sphere discrete element method (DEM) and Navier-Stokes equations were coupled with equations of energy for gas and solids to investigate the process of agglomeration in fluidized bed of polyethylene particles at high temperature. The Newton’s second law of motion was adapted for translational and rotational motion of particles and agglomerates. The cohesive force for polyethylene particles...
متن کاملCalculation of Complicated Flows, Using First and Second-Order Schemes (RESEARCH NOTE)
The first-order schemes used for discretisation of the convective terms are straightforward and easy to use, with the drawback of introducing numerical diffusion. Application of the secondorder schemes, such as QUICK scheme, is a treatment to reduce the numerical diffusion, but increasing convergence oscillation is unavoidable. The technique used in this study is a compromise between the above-...
متن کاملMODELING OF GROUNDWATER FLOW OVER SLOPING BEDS IN RESPONSE TO CONSTANT RECHARGE AND STREAM OF VARYING WATER LEVEL
This paper presents an analytical model characterizing unsteady groundwater flow in an unconfined aquifer resting on a sloping impervious bed. The aquifer is in contact with a constant water level at one end. The other end is connected to a stream whose level is increasing form an initial level to a final level at a known exponentially decaying function of time. Moreover, the aquifer is repleni...
