Fine grid DEM simulation of bed layer height in bubbling fluidized-bed
For fine-grid DEM simulation of gas-solids fluidized-bed
the traditional methods of calculating grid porosity and local porosity lead to large deviations in simulation results. This paper gives a precise area fraction model and a completely circumstance-dependent local porosity model to more properly calculate grid porosity and local porosity
respectively. These models were validated by the DEM simulation test on a small-scale bubbling fluidized system
using fine-grid size of two particle diameters. The simulated bubble shape and size were close to the measurement. Simulations showed that DEM could perform well in modeling time-varying waveforms for the bed layer height
when using the precise area fraction model and the local porosity model.
