NEAR-WALL HYDRODYNAMICS
OF A CIRCULATING FLUIDIZED BED

UDC 533.6

The available experimental data on the velocities 
of phases, concentrations of particles, size of clusters in the wall 
layer of a circulating fluidized bed, and also on the width of this 
zone have been generalized within the framework of similarity theory. 
An analysis of the relationship between the velocity of a cluster 
and its vertical dimension has made it possible to elucidate the character 
of gas flow around the cluster.
