Abstract: The effect of three dimensionality on low Reynolds number flows past a symmetric sudden expansion in a channel was investigated. The geometric expansion ratio in the current study was 2:1 and ...

Abstract: Simulations of gas-solid fluidized beds have been performed using a hybrid simulation method, which couples the discrete element method (DEM) for particle dynamics with the averaged two-fluid ...

Abstract: The hydrodynamics of fluidized beds involving gas-solids interactions are very complex, and modeling such a system using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling is even more challenging for ...

Abstract: The external loop airlift reactor (ELALR) is a modified bubble column reactor that is composed of two vertical columns that are interconnected with two horizontal tubes and is often preferred ...

Abstract: Computational modeling of fluidized beds can be used to predict the operation of biomass gasifiers after extensive validation with experimental data. The present work focused on validating ...
