THREE-DIMENSIONAL SIMULATION OF A VIBROFLUIDIZED BED WITH THE USE OF A TWO-FLUID MODEL OF GRANULAR GAS

We present the results of three-dimensional calculations of the degree of expansion of a vibrofl uidized bed that were obtained with the aid of the twoPhaseEulerFoam solver of a freely accessible OpenFOAM package and the data of experiments on vibrobubbling of relatively large dolomite particles. Satisfactory agreement is obtained between the
results of numerical calculations and experimental data.
