Funded Activity Summary

Microdynamic modelling and analysis of gas fluidization of particle mixtures. The project aims to develop a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms governing the particle-fluid flow in gas fluidization of mixtures of particles of different sizes. This will be achieved through detailed analysis of the particle-particle and particle-fluid interactions on the basis of the microdynamic or particle scale results generated by the newly developed discrete simulation technique. The microscopic findings will be implemented in the macroscopic, continuum-based modelling and tested by comparing numerical and experimental results. It will significantly enhance the present capability of modelling particle-fluid flow in gas fluidization which is widely used in mineral/chemical industries.
