Multiphase computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has become an alternative method to experimental investigation for predicting the fluid dynamics in gas-solid fluidized beds. The model of Brandani and Zhang, which contains additional terms in both the gas-and solid-phase momentum equations, is employed to explore homogeneous fluidization of Geldart type A particles and bubbling fluidizatiou Of Geldart type B particles in three-dimensional gas-fluidized beds. In this model, only a correlation for drag force is necessary to close the governing equations. Two kinds of solids, i. e., fine alumina powder (dp=60μm and ρp=1500kg/m3) and sand (dp=610μm and ρp=2500kg/m3), are numerically simulated in a rectangular duct of 0.2m (long)×0.2m (wide) ×0.5m (high) size. The results show good agreement with the classic theory of Geldart.
