ABSTRACT:
Layer inversion behaviour in binary-solid liquid fluidized beds is examined using a Combined Continuum and Discrete Model. A suitable bidisperse system was selected from information in the literature. By simulating the fluidization of the system at a range of liquid velocities, varying degrees of segregation and mixing have been observed.
