Particle Attrition: Mechanisms and Methods to Determine Attrition Indices
Particle attrition can be a major issue in using catalyst particles in fluidized beds and circulating fluidized beds. Particles tend to break down via two mechanisms – abrasion and fragmentation.
CFD Models and Validation
This presentation by Ray Cocco discusses validation with relevant experimental data as an important and necessary process with any modeling effort for applications with scale up.
The Multi-Phase Particle-in-Cell Method (MP-PIC): History and Recent Developments
This presentation by Peter J. O’Rourke discusses the history of the MP-PIC method which is traced from its origins in spray modeling to recent modifications that include sub-models for important particle-particle effects. MP-PIC is compared with other methodologies for simulating dense particulate two-phase flows.
