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 …

Detailed knowledge of solids circulation, bubble motion, and frequencies of porosity
oscillations is needed for a better understanding of tube erosion in fluidized bed combustors …

This report describes the MFIX (Multiphase Flow with Interphase exchanges) computer
model. MFIX is a general-purpose hydrodynamic model that describes chemical reactions …

A multiphase particle-in-cell (MP-PIC) method has been developed. This numerical
technique draws upon the best of Eulerian/Eulerian continuum models and …

A three-dimensional, incompressible, multiphase particle-in-cell method is presented for
dense particle flows. The numerical technique solves the governing equations of the fluid …

A general classification of two-phase flows and a number of possible ways to formulate two-
fluid models are discussed. The two-fluid model is adopted, and a general procedure to …

Meso-scale structure existing in the form of particle clusters or strands in concurrent-up gas–
solid two-phase flow has been extensively corroborated in experimental research. However …

Gas–solid momentum transfer is a fundamental problem that is characterized by the
dependence of normalized average fluid–particle force F on solid volume fraction ϕ and the …

As an increasing number of professionals and graduate students enter the field of solid-
based power generation, they all require an command of process and equipment, as well as …
