Hydrodynamics of a two - dimensional gas - solid fluidized bed are studied experimentally and computationally for coarse and fine particles. The experiments are carried out to observe the bed dynamics namely pressure drop across the bed, the minimum and maximum heights of the expanded bed which are attained during the fluidization process. CFD simulation is also carried out by using commercial CFD software package, Fluent 13.0. The model parameters such as Gidaspow drag model, 0.9 value of restitution coefficient of particles, 0.001 convergence criterion, and first-order discretization schemes has been used. The experimental and CFD simulated results are compared with each other for pressure drop variations and bed height changes. The comparison shows a close approximation between the simulated and experimental results. It is observed that the proposed model is able to capture the gas - solid flow features existing within the fluidized bed.
