Two and three dimensional modeling of fluidized bed with multiple jets in a DEM-CFD framework

- 2D and 3D simulations were performed and validated with experiment for a multiple jet fluidized bed.
- 3D simulations could predict the bubble characteristics far away from the distributor plate.
- 2D simulations show good validation with experiment closer to the distributor plate.
- A full 3D simulation with time averaged results for multiple jets has not been published before.
