“…An increasing body of literature focusing on the subject is already available (e.g. [8][9][10][11]). However, the additional modelling included in this filtered approach introduces a substantial degree of uncertainty simply due to the complex nature of the subgrid clustering phenomena.…”

“…Some authors [21][22][23] have used empirical correlations or equivalent cluster diameters to modify the homogeneous drag force. Others have considered heterogeneity by modifying the drag coefficient through the cluster-based EMMS (energy-minimization multi-scale) approach [24][25][26]. Recently there has been attempt to model the bubbling bed heterogeneity by following the EMMS principle [27].…”

AbstractTurbulent fluidization is now widely recognized as a distinct flow regime and is commonly utilized in industrial fluidized-bed reactors. However, relatively fewer attempts have been made to rigorously model these systems in comparison to bubbling and circulating fluidized beds. In this work, we have rewritten the original bubble based EMMS model in form of a mixture to apply it to turbulent fluidization. At microscale this mixture is composed of gas and particles whereas voids and gas-particle suspension make up this mixture at mesoscale level. Subsequently, all the system properties are then calculated in terms of mixture rather than individual phases. With the minimization of the objective function for the bubbling mixture, the set of equations is then solved numerically. The objective function, used to close the system of equations, is composed of the energy consumption rates required to suspend gas-particle suspension and the energy consumed due to interaction between suspension and voids. The model is then applied to simulate gas-solid turbulent fluidized beds. Simulation results are encouraging as the model is able to predict the dense bottom and dilute top zones along the height of the bed. Comparison of results with experimental data and homogeneous drag model has been made for validation purposes.

“…Firstly, TFM-KTGF simulations are used to derive industrial scale filtered models (e.g. [4][5][6]) which are enjoying significant research attention at present. Secondly, as shown in the first part of this work [7], larger particle sizes have much less stringent grid size requirements than smaller particle sizes and industrial sized beds using large particles (~500 µm) can already be simulated with current computational capacities.…”
