摘要

The aim of this work is to describe the methodology and the results of a new advanced modeling technique, based on the coupling of the Distinct Element Method (DEM) for particle simulation and a CFD algorithm for fluid motion simulation, capable to simulate the main hydrodynamic behavior of fluidized beds, for applications in physical and chemical reacting systems. Although the fluidization process is widely used for several industrial processes, a theoretical understanding of the underlying phenomena is not well developed yet. Accurate numerical simulations can help to establish reliable models for better performance predictions and more accurate scale-up of the process. In this work, a combined DEM-CFD approach for the simulation of the two-phase motion occurring in fluidized beds is briefly described. The algorithm provides information on the particle-particle and particle-fluid microscopic interactions. These small-scale phenomena are responsible for the typical macroscopic motion patterns occurring in fluidized beds, such as particulate and aggregative expansion, bubble motion and slug motion. The main numerical issues of the DEM-CFD approach are discussed in order to examine possibilities and limitations of the model. Then an application to a case of interest for several industrial plants, i.e. the fluidization of a mixture of solids, is proposed. The stable segregated initial configuration for a mixture of particles differing in density (lighter component above) is examined and discussed. The simulation of the hydrodynamics of the two phases allows the mechanisms of fluidization of mixtures (mixing and segregation) to be carefully studied. The calculated values of the fundamental parameters are compared to the theoretical predictions, showing the encouraging possibilities offered by DEM-CFD based numerical simulations.
