Numerical simulations together with typical experimental measurements show that pressure fluctuations originate above the distributor when a gas pulse is injected into the fluidized bed. The pressure above the bubble gradually increases due to the presence of a rising bubble. When the bubble passes through the bed surface, the pressure near the bed surface gradually decreases to a lower value. Moreover, the pressure signals in the bubbling fluidized beds show obviously periodic characteristics. The major frequency of pressure fluctuations at the same vertical position is affected slightly by the operating gas velocity, and the amplitude of pressure fluctuations is related to both the operating gas velocity and the vertical height. In this study, the influence of the operating gas velocity on the pressure wave propagation velocity can be ignored, and only two peak frequencies in the power spectrum of the pressure fluctuations are observed which are associated with the bubble formation above the distributor and its eruption at the bed surface.展开更多

Reasons for generation and propagation of pressure fluctuations in the air dense medium fluidized bed have been discussed.Drift rate and collision rate of particles were employed to deduce the correlation between voidage and pressure fluctuations. Simultaneously, a dynamic pressure fluctuation measuring and analysis system was established. Based on frequency domain analysis and wavelet analysis, collected signals were disassembled and analyzed. Results show gradually intensive motion of particles increases magnitudes of signal components with lower frequencies. As a result of violent particle motion, the magnitude of real pressure signal's frequency experienced an increase as air velocity increased moderately. Wavelet analysis keeps edge features of the real signal and eliminates the noise efficaciously. The frequency of denoised signal is closed to that of pressure signal identified in frequency domain analysis.展开更多

As well, the relation between pore pressure and soil stress was evaluated. The model tests show the vibrations of pore pressure and soil stress as a result of mining activities. The simulation model tells of the response characteristics of pore pressure after mining and its distribution in the sand aquifer. The comparative analysis reveals that pore pressure and soil stress vibration are activated by unexpected events occurring in mines, such as collapsing roofs. An increased pore pressure zone always lies above the wall in front or behind the working face of a mine. Both pore pressure and vertical stress result in increasing and decreasing processes during movements of the working face of a mine. The vibration of pore pressure always precedes soil stress in the same area and ends with a sharp decline. Changes in pore pressure of sand aquifer are limited to the area of stress changes. Obvious changes are largely located in a very small frame over the mining face.展开更多

Time mean pressure and time series of pressure fluctua- tions were measured at different axial positions in the dipleg with particle mass fluxes ranging from 50.0 to 385.0 kg m-2s t. The experimental results showed that the time mean pressure in the dipleg increased progres- sively from the top section to the bottom section. The experimental phenomena displayed that the fluidization patterns in the dipleg can be divided into two types on the whole, namely the dilute-dense coexisting falling flow and the dense conveying flow along the dipleg. In the dilute- dense coexisting falling flow, the dilute phase region was composed of a length of swirling flow below the inlet of dipleg and a dilute falling flow above the dense bed level. With increasing particle mass flux, the dilute-dense coex- isting falling flow was gradually transformed to be the dense conveying flow, and the exit pressure of the dipleg increased considerably. The pressure fluctuations were closely related to the flnidization patterns inside the dipleg. In the dilute-dense coexisting falling flow, the pressure fluctuations in the dilute flow region originated from par- ticle clusters, propagating downward as a pressure wave; however, the pressure fluctuations in the dense flow region originated from rising gas bubbles, propagating upward. When the dense conveying flow was formed in the dipleg,the pressure fluctuations originated mainly from instability of the feed and the compressed gas, propagating down- ward. The standard deviation of the pressure fluctuations indicated that the intensity of pressure fluctuations first increased and then decreased with increasing particle flux.展开更多

The result is c ompared with that of the standard k-ε model and a refined k-ε mode l, which re-consi-dered the fluctuating pressure diffusion term in the dissipa tion rate equation (ε-equation) through modeling. It shows that the low Re ynolds number k-ε model and the standard k-ε model yield very poor performance, while the predicting ability of the refined k-ε model is mu ch improved , especially for the turbulent kinetic energy k. So it can be co ncluded that the poor performance of the standard k-ε model is owing to t he incorrect considering the effect of the fluctuating pressure diffusion term r ather than the use of the wall function near the wall just as presumed in the re ference.展开更多
