This work reviews methods for time-series analysis for characterization of the dynamics of
gas–solid fluidized beds from in-bed pressure measurements for different fluidization …

Flow visualization and characterization of multiphase flows have been the quest of many
fluid mechanicians. The process is fairly straight forward only when there is good optical …

The combination of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Discrete Element Model
(DEM) is a powerful tool for studying fluidized particulate systems and granular flows. In …

Gas-solid fluidized-bed systems offer great advantages in terms of chemical reaction
efficiency and temperature control where other chemical reactor designs fall short. For this …

In chemical and energy industries, fluidization concerning rod-like particles is often
encountered, but little effort has been made in this respect. Understanding fluidization of rod …

Abstract CFD–Discrete Element Method (DEM) model is an effective approach for studying
dense gas–solid flow in fluidized beds. In this study, a CFD–DEM model for complex …

Particle clusters are well acknowledged to affect the hydrodynamics and overall
performance of gas-solid fluidized beds. Since one of the first reports on the clustering …

A review is presented of measurement techniques to characterise dispersed multiphase
flows, which are not accessible by means of conventional optical techniques. The main …

In the past few decades, the applicability of spout fluidized beds has been augmented
immensely. This is not only due to the fact that these systems combine characteristics of …

Electrical capacitance tomography has been widely used to obtain key hydrodynamic
parameters of gas–solid fluidized beds, which is normally realized by first reconstructing …
