Dear all,
I have been trying to simulate a cylindric liquid fluidized bed, 10 cm diameter, but there is always a layer of particles stuck at the bottom of the equipment. I tried many alternatives, such as changing the particle-wall interactions model, change the particles' and walls' physical properties (almost all of them), change the inlet conditions, but with no success. In addition, maybe due to this problem, the expansion of the bed at the pseudo-steady-state is below the expected.
If somebody faced and overcame this same issue, I'd be more than glad if you could help me.
Thank you beforehand!
