A physical model is suggested to explain the occurrence of a shell of varying porosity around a gaseous bubble rising in a fluidized bed. According to the model, this phenomenon is a direct consequence of the necessity to maintain the balance of forces acting on solid particles in the vicinity of th

β¦ Synopsis
A semi-empirical model which describes the influence of observed voidage variations on gas and particle flows associated with a fluidization bubble is described. It is shown that the effects are very slight so that the incompressible assumption used in Davidson's (1961) model is justified.

## Abstract A technique has been developed to determine the charge distribution around single rising bubbles in a twoβdimensional fluidized bed. Four induction probes positioned flush with the outside wall of the column and connected to charge amplifiers record induced charge signals as bubbles pas

Measurements of the entire pressure field around a two-dimensional bubble rising in an incipiently fluidized bed are reported. Above the center of pressure line, the field is Laplacian and reasonably well described by Davidson's theory. The pressure wake is closed. It extends for 12 bubble radii bel
Di Felice (1994) has shown that the ratio of the drag coeffi cient, C D C D C , on a sphere in a liquid-fl uidized bed of uniform spheres to the drag coeffi cient, C DS C DS C , on the same sphere in isolation and subjected to the same superfi cial liquid velocity, u, is given by a function Ξ΅ -Ξ² , w
