3D Numerical Simulation of the Fluidized Bed’s Cold Distributor

Article Preview

Abstract:

Because of excessive pressure loss when the gas went through distributor in fluidized bed (FB), based on the principle and method of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), using the software, FLUENT, the inner flow field in the fluidized bed with distributor was simulated. This article analyzed the three-dimensional velocity field distribution, pressure field distribution under the different arrangement of hole form. and the good advice was given on the structural optimization of the cold distributor.
