Tsekos, C. (author), de Voogt, D. (author), de Jong, W. (author), Padding, J.T. (author)This work focuses on the numerical modelling and experimental validation of the hydrodynamic behaviour of a novel 50 kW<sub>th</sub> indirectly heated bubbling fluidized bed steam reformer. The hydrodynamic behaviour of fluidized beds with immersed vertical tubes and complex fluidized bed geometries in general have not been thoroughly...journal article 2022

Mema, I. (author), Padding, J.T. (author)Having proper correlations for hydrodynamic forces is essential for successful CFD-DEM simulations of a fluidized bed. For spherical particles in a fluidized bed, efficient correlations for predicting the drag force, including the crowding effect caused by surrounding particles, are already available and well tested. However, for elongated...journal article 2021

Vikrant, V. (author), Padding, J.T. (author)A novel approach to Multiphase-Particle-in-Cell (MP-PIC), called Continuum Particle Model (CPM), is developed for dense gas-particle flows. CPM has high computational speed, comparable to that of MP-PIC, but a robustness and accuracy closer to that of a Discrete Element Model (DEM). The gas phase is treated as a continuum phase and particles...journal article 2020

Mema, I. (author), Padding, J.T. (author)The possibility to offer good intermixing between particles is one of the main properties that make fluidized beds such an important industrial appliance. In this work, we use CFD-DEM simulations to compare mixing characteristics of spherical (AR-1) to elongated spherocylindrical particles (AR-4) of aspect ratio In simulation of AR-4...journal article 2020

Boer, L. (author), Buist, K. A. (author), Deen, N. G. (author), Padding, J.T. (author), Kuipers, J. A.M. (author)In this experimental study the segregation behavior for fluidized mixtures of spherical and cylindrical particles is investigated. In industry, fluidization of particles featuring a wide range of shapes is common in various applications such as biomass gasification, drying applications, food processing and production of pharmaceuticals....journal article 2018
