Abstract
The fluidization phenomena for gas-fine particle two-phase flow is numerically simulated in confined fluidized bed based on two-fluid model, applying body-fitted coordination for the irregular geometry zone in this work. The simulation was performed either with a partially packed fluidized bed in the bottom part applying various superficial gas velocities in bubbling region, which is used to study the bubbles formation and the average porosity in the packed zone, or with a whole packed fluidized bed applying various solid flux rates in pneumatic region, which is used to investigate the mechanism in the packed bed. The void fraction of the fine-particles confined bed as a function of flow velocity is compared with experimental results by G. Donsi etc.(1). The numerical pressure drop in the fully packed bed is compared with experimental results by Yulong Ding etc. (2).
