Abstract
The interactions of bubbles and particles with fixed cylindrical tubes in two-dimensional fluidized beds were investigated by experiments and by simulations, based on results for single bubbles impinging on a tube. The experimental results based on PIV analysis support our previous force origin model and indicate that the model is able to successfully model bubble behavior and particle motion around fixed objects. The simulation results give useful predictions, dynamic force induced on a tube consists of the force from pressure gradient, fluid viscous force and particle contact force. The predominant force component is from the pressure gradient. As bubbles directly interact with a tube, the particle contact force contribution briefly becomes predominant.Bubble behavior and particle motion are greatly affected by the state of the emulsion phase as the medium of the fluidized bed into which gas is injected. Hence the dynamic forces on immersed objects are directly affected by the state of the emulsion phase.
