Abstract
This paper presents comparisons between experimental measurements and unsteady threedimensional numerical simulations performed by an unstructured parallelized CFD multiphase flow code of elutriation and transport of mono-dispersed glass beads type B and A/B in a fluidized bed. These comparisons show a satisfactory agreement between experimental measurements and numerical predictions. The numerical results also show a strong dependence on the mesh size, especially for fine particles. A model accounting for influences of mesoscales structures on overall bed hydrodynamics, which are not resolved by coarse mesh simulations, is applied. Results obtained with the model show improvements for the dense fluidized bed and even for a transport step.
