Dynamics of gas-fluidized beds

Abstract
Governing equations for the motion of gas‐fluidized beds are derived within the framework of the theory of interacting continua. Steady‐state solutions for two simple cases (incompressible fluid, isothermal ideal gas) are outlined in detail. The stability of these steady‐state solutions is examined by conventional linear hydrodynamic stability analysis. Finally, some numerical results illustrating the effects of various physical parameters are presented.
