Eulerian-Lagrangian simulation of the full-loop gas-solid hydrodynamics in a pilot-scale circulating fluidized bed

The full-loop gas-solid hydrodynamics in a pilot-scale circulating fluidized bed (CFB) is numerically investigated by using multi-phase particle-in-cell (MP-PIC) method. In this method, fluid motion is resolved under Eulerian framework while particle motion is tackled under Lagrangian framework. The numerical results agree well with experimental data, demonstrating the reasonability of the MP-PIC method in simulating dense gas-solid systems. The...
