In this work we simulated the dynamics of a fluidized bed of a binary solid mixture using the isothermal multi-fluid model of the commercial CFD code Fluent 12. We focused the attention on the role of both restitution coefficient and integration methods on the dynamics of the bed, adopting a mixture of solids assorted in size (with constant density) as case study. We employed two methods of spatial...
