Gas Pulsation Induced Oscillations in Spouted Beds study published in AIChE Journal

The article Asynchronous background gas pulsation in spouted beds: Effects on spout oscillation and mixing was published in the AIChE Journal. This study consisted of both experiments and CFD-DEM simulations for probing the effects of gas pulsation on spout oscillation and mixing. It was demonstrated that spout oscillation can be actively controlled by pulsing the background gas flow asynchronously. Numerical simulations are used to investigate the underlying mechanisms responsible for this behavior. It was shown that faster mixing, decreased dead zone areas, and improved particle recirculation could be achieved.
