The article provides a brief overview of a one-dimensional model of two-phase flow in the geometry of a circulating fluidized bed combustor exhibiting vertical variability of cross-section. The model is based on numerical solution of conservation laws for mass, momentum and energy of gas and solid components of the fluidized-bed system by means of the finite-volume method in space and of a multistep higher-order solver in time. The presented computational results reproduce characteristic behavior of fluidized beds in the given geometry.
Keywords: multi-phase flow, turbulence, reactive flows., Navier-Stokes equations, combustion.
