Abstract Intensive heat and mass transfer between continuum fluids and discrete particulate materials plays a critical role in many chemical reactors [1]. For example, the shaft furnace and the blast furnace in ironmaking are operated with continuous charge and discharge of solid materials, and it takes hours for the solid materials moving from the furnace top to the bottom. To understand and improve the operation of these reactors, discrete particle models are very helpful when combined with flow, heat and mass transfer, and chemical reaction models [2-6]. However, due to the high computational cost with such discrete particle models, it is… More >
