okay Jeff, for thanks for your response.
Dear MFIX Development Team,
I recently asked about modifying the fluid_bed_tfm_2d.mfx file because I am trying to simulate a simplified circulating fluidized bed reactor (CFBR). My goal is to focus exclusively on modeling the reactor’s main section, where I aim to create a loop or recirculation mechanism. Specifically, I want solid particles exiting through the reactor’s top outlet to be reintroduced into the bottom inlet to simulate the particle recirculation characteristic of CFBRs. (Refer to Image 1 for a conceptual illustration.)
This idea stems from my challenges in building a CFBR in MFIX. I attempted a 3D simulation of a CFBR (as shown in Image 2) but encountered difficulties, particularly with configuring the bed correctly in the reactor’s riser section. I’m unsure how to set up the fluidized bed properly within the riser and configure the required parameters for the recirculation and elevation processes.
I would greatly appreciate any advice, documentation, or example setups that could help me move forward with this project.
Thank you for your time and support!
Best regards,
Sergio González S.
