Gas-solid fluidized beds have drawn the attention of engineers and researchers as an
effective technology for a large variety of applications, and numerical simulations can play …

Gas-solid fluidization technology has been commercialized in many industrial applications
since its implementation in the fluid catalytic cracking process in the early 1940s, however …

Discusses the CFD-DEM method of modeling which combines both the Discrete Element
Method and Computational Fluid Dynamics to simulate fluid-particle interactions. Deals with …

The coupling of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and discrete element method (DEM)
has become an important method for studying dense fluidized beds. Since DEM can track …

This paper reviews the use of discrete particle models (DPMs) for the study of the flow
phenomena prevailing in fluidized beds. DPMs describe the gas-phase as a continuum …

This year, 2022, we celebrate the 100-year anniversary of the commercialization of the
fluidized bed reactor. In those years, many new processes have been developed, with many …

Starting from a kinetic theory based two‐fluid model for gas‐particle flows, we first construct
filtered two‐fluid model equations that average over small scale inhomogeneities that we do …

The Multiphase Flow Handbook, Second Edition is a thoroughly updated and reorganized
revision of the late Clayton Crowe's work, and provides a detailed look at the basic concepts …

Fluid flow through packed beds of uniform spheres is studied by a parallel lattice-Boltzmann
(LB) model. The packed beds are obtained from simulations based on discrete element …

As a promising powder-based additive manufacturing technology, selective laser melting
(SLM) has gained great popularity in recent years. However, experimental observation of the …
