Hydrodynamics of High Velocity Circulating Fluidized Bed Risers
In this research the solids flux measurements showed the risers having different shapes of radial profiles. The net solids flow direction at all radial locations was found to be upward for the conditions used in this study.

Comparative study of Transport Disengaging Height (TDH) correlations in gas–solid fluidization
In this publication, Transport Disengaging Height correlations are evaluated across Geldart Groups, polydispersity and velocities.
Introduction to Fluidization
Fluidized beds offer excellent heat transfer, and have the unique ability to move a wide range of solid particles in a fluid-like fashion.
