Effect of Gaussian size distribution width on minimum fluidization velocity in tapered gas–solid fluidized beds

Experimental Investigation and CFD–DEM Simulation of Solids Mixing in Tapered Fluidized Beds

“…Hosseini et al conducted research on intelligent-based models used to estimate the minimum fluidization velocity in tapered fluidized beds. Their findings showed the highest level of agreement with the model proposed by Raste et al, as compared to other recently developed models. Kia Lashaki et al employed the Eulerian–Eulerian hydrodynamic model to forecast fundamental characteristics such as the minimum fluidization velocity, minimum bubbling velocity, bed height, and solid volume fraction of Geldart A particles within a 2D gas–solid tapered fluidized bed featuring various apex angles.…”
