Abstract

Previous analyses of gas and particle motion around bubbles in fluidized beds have concentrated on idealized isolated bubbles. In this paper three non-idealities are considered using the theoretical models of Davidson and Murray. Gas flow patterns are derived for indented and elongated bubbles and for pairs of interacting bubbles. Cloud boundaries are predicted for these situations and some effects on gas-solid contacting are discussed.
