Samenvatting
In this paper the influence of the inlet and outlet configurations of a pseudo-2D fluidized riser on the hydrodynamics (i.e. flow pattern and cluster characteristics) are studied. A detailed comparison between experimental data and full 3D CFD-DEM simulation results is performed. Solids volume fraction and mass flux are characterized and particle clusters are detected in our CFD-DEM simulations and compared to experimental data. It is shown that a correct representation of the outlet is very important for a correct simulation of the solids holdup in the top section of the riser. The core-annulus flow behavior is generally well predicted by the model and cluster characteristics such as cluster occurance and velocity are also in good agreement with experimental data. Finally, an outlook is given for the future use of CFD-DEM simulation approaches to study riser flows.
