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.
