Experimental Diagnostics for the Improved Modeling of Gas-Solids Fluidized Beds

Learn about bubbling fluidized beds modeling, fluid dynamics scaling, and advanced experimental testing techniques in this 46-minute lecture presented by Professor David Pallarès at The International Multiphase Flow Technology Forum. Explore three distinct modeling approaches for fluidized beds, including a critical analysis of CFD method limitations and momentum conservation calculations in semi-empirical methods. Discover a new simplified dimensionless scaling method for gas-solid two-phase flows, and examine cutting-edge measurement techniques such as large particle tracking, camera probe with digital image analysis, and radar technology. Drawing from his extensive research experience at Chalmers University of Technology, Professor Pallarès shares insights from his work on fluidized bed technology applications in energy conversion processes, focusing on sustainable development and climate change mitigation.
