Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) packages (CFX and Fluent) governing equations were modified using kinetic theory for cohesive and non-cohesive particles of different sizes, and used to simulate 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional transient gas/particle flow behavior using FCC particles in the riser section of a circulating fluidized bed. The calculated solid flux velocity and pressure drop agreed reasonably well with the experimental data obtained using laser doppler anemometer and large-scale experiments.
