A Model to Improve Granular Temperature in CFD-DEM Simulations

CFD-DEM (computational fluid dynamic-discrete element method) is a promising approach for simulating fluid–solid flows in fluidized beds. This approach generally under-predicts the granular temperature due to the use of drag models for the average drag force. This work develops a simple model to imp...
