CFD Simulation of Binary Fluidized Mixtures: Effects of Restitution Coefficient and Spatial Discretization Methods

This work focuses on the CFD simulation of fluidized bidisperse solid particles with same density and different size. We successfully predicted the minimum superficial gas velocity required to steadily fluidize the particles by employing a second-order upwind spatial discretization method and a non-ideal value of the restitution coefficient.
