Journal ArticleDOI

The role of meso-scale structures in rapid gas–solid flows

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the meso-scale structures are too small, and hence too expensive, to be resolved completely in simulation of gas-particle flows in large process vessels.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new theory of the instability of a uniform fluidized bed

TL;DR: In this article, the form of the momentum equation for one-dimensional (vertical) unsteady mean motion of solid particles in a fluidized bed or a sedimenting dispersion is established from physical arguments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonlinear mechanics of fluidization of beds of spherical particles

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a local rearrangement mechanism in which one sphere is captured in the wake of the other, and two local mechanisms are involved: drafting and kissing and tumbling into stable cross stream arrays.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrodynamics of liquid fluidisation

TL;DR: Theoretical and empirical approaches to the fluid dynamic description of liquid fluidized beds are reviewed, together with the relevant experimental evidence as mentioned in this paper, with one section devoted to binary-solid systems, the particles differing in size and/or in density.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aerated vibrofluidization of silica nanoparticles

TL;DR: In this paper, a fractal analysis combined with a modified Richardson-Zaki approach is proposed for prediction of agglomerate size and voidage, and the results showed that the bed appeared to exhibit a fluidlike behavior at velocities much lower than the minimum fluidization velocity.
