Abstract :
The flow behavior of near wall cluster has an important effect on the heat transfer and attrition of the circulating fluidized beds (CFBs). In this paper, the gas-solid two-phase flow in the riser of CFBs was simulated by means of large eddy simulation (LES) and the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method. A extended cluster identification method was used to investigate the cluster properties. The distributions of time-averaged solid concentration and velocity of cluster near the wall region were analyzed. Simulated results showed that the descent velocity of near wall clusters appears to keep constant. The solid concentration of near wall cluster decreases along the height of riser. The simulated results have a reasonable agreement with the previous experimental data.
