Role of Aeration in Standpipe Flow
Standpipes provide the pressure balance in a circulating fluidized bed and thereby dictate the solid flux into the riser. This research explains the role of aeration ins standpipe flow.
CPFD Flow Pattern Simulation in Downer Reactors
Researchers in Canada use an early version of Barracuda Virtual Reactor to predict local solid densification and asymmetric “wavy flows” in downer reactors.
CPFD Simulation of Circulating Fluidized Bed Risers
This study by researchers at the Hamburg University of Technology and Tsinghua University investigated the applicability of CPFD for simulating flows in CFB risers for Geldart group A and B particles for low and high solids fluxes.
CFD simulations for Prediction of Scaling Effects in Pharmaceutical Fluidized Bed Processors at Three Scales
Experimental operation of three fluidized bed processors is compared with CFD simulation results by Parker, Williams, and Thibault, CPFD Software, and LaMarche, Chen, and Stamato, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company.
