Abstract Fluidization experiments were conducted on a small scale and with a rapid response (short duration) to enable corresponding simulations at low‐computational cost. Rise times are reported for four or fewer polyethylene particles (intruders) in an air‐fluidized bed of ~5000 group D glass beads. Experimental inputs were completely characterized—particle properties, system dimensions and operating conditions—which is necessary for validating computational fluid mechanics (CFD)‐discrete element method (DEM) including a comprehensive uncertainty quantification (UQ) analysis. Input uncertainties are reported as bounds or cumulative distribution functions of measured values. The staggering number of simulations required to complete a UQ analysis (~ O [10 ⁴ ] simulations corresponding to ~5 uncertain inputs) motivates this study. These segregating‐bed experiments are designed to permit analogous CFD‐DEM simulations to complete in less than a day on a single (~2.5 GHz) computational processor unit (CPU). Segregation times are reported for several operating conditions, intruder sizes, and initial configurations, providing a rich dataset for numerical model testing, validation and UQ.
