Abstract
A liquid-solid fluidized bed is investigated by means of optical techniques involving index matching. Statistics of velocity fluctuations of both phases are determined. A physical model distinguishing between interstitial and wake regions is introduced. It reproduces the velocity fluctuation distributions up to the third-order-moment, explaining the reversal of the skewness when increasing the solid concentration.
