Abstract
For fluidized beds, the Eulerian formulation of the solid phase conservation equations is favourable due to the high solids loading occuring in such systems. The solid phase is treated as a continuous fluid although it actually consists of many individual particles. Thus, the tangential and normal forces are represented by a solids viscosity and the so-called solid pressure. Furthermore, a model for the drag force between the phases is required. A disadvantage of the Eulerian approach is the necessity of a separate set of conservation equations for each size- and density class of particles.
