In this work the influences of solid viscosity and the way to scale-down traditional drag models on the predicted hydrodynamics of Geldart A particles in a lab-scale gas-solid bubbling fluidized bed are investigated. To evaluate the effects of drag models, the modified Gibilaro et al. drag model (constant correction factor) and the EMMS drag model ...
Le chapitre commence par une description des phénomènes physiques propres aux inondations, en particulier, ceux qui les distinguent des écoulements ordinaires en rivière. Ces différents phénomènes sont rattachés aux différents types d'inondations qui ont été énumérés auparavant. Pour modéliser ces phénomènes en vue de la gestion des inondations, il...
The chapter starts by describing the physical processes typical of floods, particularly, the ones that cannot be observed at low river flows. All these latter processes are linked to the various kinds of floods described above. In order to simulate these processes for flood management, a relevant spatial scale should be selected. For each kind of f...
A Two Fluid Model (TFM) using kinetic theory of granular flow has been developed to describe an innovative process of hydrogen production in a single step. An extended Multi-species of Solid Phase (MSP) method is proposed to simulate the gas-solid heterogeneous reactions in an entrained flow gasifier, as opposed to Single-species of Solid Phase (SS...
A new numerical model based on the two-fluid model (TFM) including the kinetic theory of granular flow (KTGF) and complicated reactions has been developed to simulate coal gasification in a bubbling fluidized bed gasifier (BFBG). The collision between particles is described by KTGF. The coal gasification rates are determined by combining Arrhenius ...
