This article provides a comprehensive review of the state of the art and more recent
developments of the thermochemical treatments of slurry fuels in fluidized beds (FB). The …

Particulate flow has a wide range of industrial applications and is frequently modeled with
coupled CFD–DEM approaches. Herein, we first identified a simulation gap between the …

Fluidized bed (FB) combustion and gasification are advanced techniques for fuel flexible,
high efficiency and low emission conversion. Fuels are combusted or gasified as a fluidized …

Based on a semi-resolved CFD-DEM coupling method, this study proposed a method that
uses the minimum distance between the fluid grid and the particle boundary as a reference …

This study develops an extended unresolved CFD-DEM coupling method for simulation of
the fluid–solid flow with non-spherical particles. The limitation of fluid grid size is discussed …

Staged combustion of rice straw has been investigated using an atmospheric bubbling
fluidized bed combustor. The combustor has a 300mm ID and a 3300mm height. Secondary …

Up to this point comparably little research has been conducted concerning chemical looping
combustion of liquid fuels. This article provides an overview of the field and discussion of the …

The jetting-fountain fluidized bed (JFFB) is a novel configuration for fluidized bed. It is
basically a bubbling fluidized bed equipped with a spouted jet in the upper part of the bed. A …

Experimental study on co-combustion of rice straw and natural gas has been performed in a
bubbling fluidized bed. The used combustor allows a novel jetting-fountain configuration …

Recently, straw–bitumen pellets have been proposed as an alternative fuel. In this paper, a
comprehensive model for steady state combustion of straw–bitumen pellets in a bubbling …
