Abstract: | Numerical solutions of a gas fluidized bed model in two space dimensions are presented. This model is hyperbolic and contains
particle pressure, but no particle viscosity. The results are compared with experimental data available in the literature
for a wide variety of phenomena. Investigated are: the rise velocity of a single, isolated bubble; the frequency of variation
of bubble diameter with time; bubble splitting; bubble frequency and the coalescence of a bubble chain formed by gas injected
through a single orifice; analysis of the coalescence of bubbles aligned vertically, as well as that of those not in vertical
alignment; the formation of slugs in narrow beds; and, eruption at the bed surface. The simulation results show both qualitative
and quantitative agreement with the literature.
