In addition, the uniformity of velocity and temperature distributions in both the radial and axial directions of different packing structures were compared. For b25s75, the dimensionless distance of radial porosity fluctuation from the wall is 0.3705, which is the smallest among the five packing models, indicating that this structure plays a suppressive role on the wall effect. The results show that the packing structure of b25s75 was conducive to reducing the influence of wall effect in packed bed reactors.
The DEM model was used to build a series of randomly mixed packing structures of particles in accordance with the dynamic change of mass ratio between particles in two size ranges, which were then confirmed by the findings of an X-ray tomography (CT) scan. The evolution of mesoscale structures of particle packing in binary composite packed beds and their effects on flow characteristics and wall effects were investigated using the discrete element method (DEM) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
