Abstract
DEM-CFD simulations are carried out for the water fluidization of 200 micron glass ballotini and air fluidization of cohesionless alumina 70 micron powders. In the first case, homogeneous expansion is found throughout the whole investigated range of water velocity. Alumina powders exhibits a transition to bubbling regime at a voidage value in very good agreement with results of the theory of particle bed stability. The simulated kinematic and dynamic wave propagation velocities are in good agreement with theoretical predictions.
