| Summary: | This work aims to increase the predictivity of the two-fluid model in gas-solid fluidized beds of Geldart A particles. The first part deals with the integration of physical phenomena into the two-fluid model: shear-induced collisions, lubrication between particles and inter-particular forces. The second part deals with the practical resolution of the two-fluid model using numerical codes. It is shown that bed expansion for Geldart A particles have a strong dependance on the mesh size used to compute the flow, leading to a major overestimation. The filtered approach is used and points up the filtered drag as the key of the problem. Two subgrid drag models are proposed and tested on both academic and laboratory configurations. |
