CFD study: Effect of pulsating flow on gas-solid hydrodynamics in FCC riser

Gas-solid flow in a fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) riser exhibits poor mixing in the form of a core-annulus flow pattern and a dense bottom/dilute top distribution of solids. To enhance gas-solid mixing, studies on dense fluidized beds have suggested using a pulsating flow of gas. The present study...
