摘要: Discrete Element Method (DEM) is widely applied to the numerical simulations of fluidized beds. However, computational expense increases explosively as number particles increases. This issue hinders DEM from being real-scale simulations. A model particle sometimes employed in order overcome this problem, which real are replaced by larger particles. When used, some conditions (e. g., superficial velocity, gas density, viscosity, density) must be adjusted accordingly. Those referred ‘similarity conditions.’ In research similarity derived equations change through a dimensionless analysis. Bubble motions compared between cases and case validate proposed conditions.
