This article introduces a type of stochastic model, which we call a multiphase stochastic model, for the particle transport in bubbling fluidized beds, making it possible to take into account the finite velocity of fluidization bubbles and also extra particle transport due to "gulf streaming." An extended analysis of experimental results for particle transport in fluidized beds with gulf stream...

−The information of particle cluster dynamics is necessary for improving the performance of a circulating fluidized bed system. The main objective of this study is to compare the particle cluster diameters and concentrations from computational fluid dynamics simulation results between circulating fluidized bed riser and downer. The calculation methodologies are based on the concept of kinetic t...

High temperature Fischer-Tropsch synthesis process use fixed fluidized bed as a reactor. In order to understand the flow behavior in the fluidized bed better, the research of how the radial velocity affects the entire flow field is necessary. Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) was used to study the radial velocity distribution along the diameter direction of the cross-section of the particle in a ...
