摘要

Abstract

In this study

the open-source software MFIX-DEM simulations of a bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) are applied to assess nine drag models according to experimental and direct numerical simulation (DNS) results. The influence of superficial gas velocity on gas–solid flow is also examined. The results show that according to the distribution of time-averaged particle axial velocity in

direction

except for Wen–Yu and Tenneti–Garg–Subramaniam (TGS)

other drag models are consistent with the experimental and DNS results. For the TGS drag model

the layer-by-layer movement of particles is observed

which indicates the particle velocity is not correctly predicted. The time domain and frequency domain analysis results of pressure drop of each drag model are similar. It is recommended to use the drag model derived from DNS or fine grid computational fluid dynamics–discrete element method (CFD-DEM) data first for CFD-DEM simulations. For the investigated BFB

the superficial gas velocity less than 0.9 m·s

-1

should be adopted to obtain normal hydrodynamics.
