Continuum modeling of porous media from a micromechanical approach often employs simple models of porous media together with well-known principles of statistical ensemble averaging, effective medium (mean-field) approximations and other relevant techniques from condensed matter physics. |
 | | Department of Applied Mechanics and Engineering Sciences, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA 92093-0411, U.S.A. Transition of a packed bed to fluidized bed has been the subject of several investigations over last five decades. |
 | | Some of the primary factors which control this transition and subsequent formation of particle free regions known as "bubbles", have been identified as the particle phase inertia, the particle phase stress and the drag force between the two phases. |
