Flow and fracture in water-saturated, unconstrained granular beds
The injection of gas in a liquid-saturated granular bed gives rise to a wide variety of invasion patterns. Many studies have focused on constrained porous media, in which the grains are fixed in the bed and only the interstitial fluid flows when the gas invades the system. With a free upper boundary, however, the grains can be entrained by the ascending gas or fluid motion, and the competition ...
متن کاملFlow through Packed Beds and Fluidized Beds
Chemical engineering operations commonly involve the use of packed and fluidized beds. These are devices in which a large surface area for contact between a liquid and a gas (absorption, distillation) or a solid and a gas or liquid (adsorption, catalysis) is obtained for achieving rapid mass and heat transfer, and particularly in the case of fluidized beds, catalytic chemical reactions. You wil...
متن کاملNMR Imaging of Water Flow in Packed Beds
Measurements by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of water flow within granular porous media are presented in this study. Our goal was not only to obtain visualizations of velocity field in porous media but rather to make accurate measurements of interstitial and averaged velocities in bead packs. Two situations were examined: the first for a packed bed with a large beads diameter where it was p...
متن کاملInteraction between intruders in vibrated granular beds.
Two neutrally buoyant intruder particles in a granular bed fluidized by vertical, sinusoidal vibration are known to interact with each other over a range of about five intruder diameters. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate in detail the spatial and temporal nature of this interaction. We show that the force of attraction between intruders can be calculated from the local densi...
متن کاملGranular Pressure Measurement in Fluidized Beds
Experiments were carried out to measure the additional pressure, called the granular pressure, which is exerted on the containing wail of a fluidized bed due to particle collisions with that wall. Measurements were made for water fluidized beds using glass beads of 1.3 mm and 3 mm diameter, lead shot of 2.1 mm diameter and plastic particles. The granular pressure was observed to increase to a m...
