As liquid bridge between particles acts an important role in the particle system, it is of considerable significance to analyze the flow hydrodynamics of wet particles in fluidized beds, which will improve the reactor design and process optimization. Thus, experimental and numerical investigations on wet particles in a bubbling fluidized bed are conducted in current work. On experimental side, particle image velocimetry (PIV) technology is employed with a designed bubbling fluidized bed. The silicone oil is used in this work because it is nonvolatile and transparent. On numerical side, a modified discrete element method (DEM) numerical method is developed by compositing an additional liquid-bridge module into the traditional soft-sphere interaction model. Most of the physical parameters are chosen to correspond to the experimental settings. Good agreements of particle velocity are found between the DEM simulation and PIV measurement. The performance of different liquid contents and superficial gas velocities are examined. (C) 2016 American Institute of Chemical Engineers
