Abstract:The internal structure of packed beds formed by different arrangements
of packings has been a subject of study for the past several decades. In
this study, we have attempted to investigate the structure formed in
laboratory-scale packed beds through experimentation and modeling,
employing different ways of packing the bed. The structure has been
measured using Micro-Computed Tomography (Micro-CT) and characterized
through appropriate metrics. The “filling of the bed” has been modeled
using a technique called C… Show more
