Abstract:
      CFD-DEM has been widely used in the study of spouted beds,and the simulation accuracy of which is closely related to the drag models applied to handle the particle-fluid interaction force.With the aim of investigating the influence of different drag models on the simulation results of spouted bed,especially for the spouted bed discretized with unstructured girds,the gas-solid dynamics of a spouted bed with a conical base were simulated in seven drag models,respectively.Considering pressure drop,spouted height and particle velocity characteristics,Wen-Yu model and Gibilaro model predicted the most intensive gas-solid dynamics,followed by Di Felice,Syamlal-O'Brien,Gidaspow and Huilin-Gidaspow models,and the gas-solid dynamics predicted by BVK model was the gentlest.Because the two-phase system in this study was particle-dense,the smooth transition function of Huilin-Gidaspow model did not work and the results predicted by Gidaspow and Huilin-Gidaspow model were exactly the same.
