                    The following are movies of Granular Flow simulations modelled by the CFD group:

 

Note: Some movies are DivX encoded to reduce file size. If you have any problems playing these videos - 

you should ensure that you have the latest codecs installed by visiting the DivX website and downloading the codecs.

Gas Particulate Systems: Fluidised Beds

 

Movie 1: GF_fluidised_bed_1.7M_v0.8ms.avi

Xvid format, 12.7 Mb

 

Coupled CFD/DEM simulation of a bubbling fluidised bed (1.7 million particles)

 

Movie 2: GF_fluidised_bed_shapes.avi

Xvid format, 17.5 Mb

 

Comparison of fluidisation characteristics for different shaped particles at the same inflow velocity

  • Spherical

  • Cuboidal

  • Prolate ellipsoids

  • Oblate ellipsoids

Oblate ellipsoids fluidise at a much lower velocity than spherical particles
