Bubbling Bed
- 500 micron sand uniformly fluidized using air at 1 m/s
- Using 8000 parcels with 668 particles/parcel
- DEM tracks all particles-particle and particle-wall collisions
Cartesian Grid – 2D Hourglass
2D Gas/Solids flow in an hourglass, colored by volume fraction, to illustrate sand flowing in the hourglass. Left: No slip boundary condition. Right: Free slip boundary condition.
Cartesian Grid – Hairpin Vortices
3D single phase flow over a hemisphere. Isosurfaces of lambda_2 eigenvalues are shown, colored by velocity magnitude, to illustate the formation of hairpin Vortices over a Hemispheric protuberance.
Cartesian Grid – MFiX Logo
MFIX logo placed in a bubbling bed, colored by volume fraction. Illustrates the capability to represent complex geometry.
Cartesian Grid – Spouted Bed
2D spouted bed simulation, colored by volume fraction.
