Longitudinal vortex effect was created by attaching a longitudinal vortex generator to spouted bed so as to improve radial and axial motions of particles in conventional spouted bed. Particle image velocimetry (PIV) was applied to explore effects of longitudinal vortex flow and particle physical properties on radial velocity of particles in injection and annular zones of a 152-mm-diametered spouted bed. The results show that a lot of secondary vortexes appear in the cross section above flow disturbance element of the vortex generator and particle radial velocity is significantly intensified when compared to conventional spouted bed
indicating that the longitudinal vortex generator can enhance radial movement of particle phase in both injection and annular zones. Within the range of stable injection
smaller diameter and lower density of particles have better intensification effect of longitudinal vortex on radial motion of particles.
