Simulation of dynamic behavior in bubbling fluidization

Both the behavior of bubbles in the distributor with several orifices and the sensitive dependence of bubbling fluidization on initial condition have been simulated by particle-motion-resolved discrete model in which the gas flow is obtained by solving the Navier-Stokes equation including two-phase interaction, and the motion of solid phase is obtained by decomposing the motion of each particle into collision process and suspension process. Compared with the pseudo-fluid models and previous discrete models, this model is authentic and can be widely used for simulating bubbling fluidization.
