In this research, by using the combined lattice Boltzmann and smooth profile method, for power law non-Newtonian fluidized bed, the effect of changing the geometric and fluid on the expansion behavior of the bed has been studied. Investigations have been carried out for 7 different geometries and 4 Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids with a power law index of 0.8 to 1. The results of the bed with Newtonian fluid show more porosity than the bed with non-Newtonian fluid. Also, increasing the index of the power law caused an increase in the porosity of the bed, and the porosity of the non-Newtonian bed decreased with an increase in the density of solid particles and the initial height of the bed. Investigating the porosity ratio in the non-Newtonian bed showed that with the increase in the diameter of the solid particles, this ratio decreases and increases with the increase in the diameter of the fluid bed. In addition, comparing the results of the bed with carboxymethyl cellulose 0.1% solution as fluid showed that the effect of reducing the particle diameter in the bed, to increase the porosity ratio is 2 times more than the effect of increasing the diameter of the bed. Finally, the output of the model showed that the porosity ratio for the bed containing solid particles with different diameters is lower than the bed containing particles with equal diameters.

In the present study, a combined Lattice Boltzmann method-smoothed profile method is used for simulation of a liquid-solid fluidized bed with non-Newtonian Power-law fluids. The geometry is contained circular monodisperse particles in a cylindrical channel. The hydrodynamic model of the flow is based on the Bhatnagar–Gross–Krook Lattice Boltzmann method and the smoothed profile method is adopted to enforce the no-slip boundary condition at the liquid-solid interface. A numerical instance of a fluidized bed involving 416 particles is presented to demonstrate the capability of the combined scheme. The results for both Newtonian and non-Newtonian liquids have compared with the experimental results of other researchers. Porosity and bed height results of Newtonian fluid (water) compared with the Richardson-Zaki equation which was showed good correspondence. Non-Newtonian fluid results compared with the Yu equation for estimating minimum fluidization velocity and the Machač-Ulbrichová equation for porosity and bed height, yet by considering uncertainty in non-Newtonian equations results of comparisons are acceptable.

In the present study, the combination of concentration lattice Boltzmann method with a smoothed profile method was used to simulate the dissolution of solid circular particles between parallel plates that are moving in opposite directions. The hydrodynamic simulation was performed based on the single relaxation time lattice Boltzmann method and the convection-diffusion equation was used to determine the concentration of the solute in the liquid phase. Additionally, the smoothed profile method was used to calculate the no-slip boundary condition at the liquid-solid interface and concentration forces. To evaluate the accuracy of the proposed model, the simulation results were compared with the empirical data in the literature. The difference between the simulation results and the empirical data for the Sherwood number at different Peclet numbers was less than 2%. The results show that the smallest dissolution time in systems with different volume fractions is in a system with the least volume fraction. As the volume fraction increases, the solid-liquid mass transfer driving force is decreased in the system. The simulation results showed that by increasing the Reynolds number from 0.05 to 0.38, the time required to reach the normalized volume fraction to 0.05 of its initial value reduced from 0.36 s to 0.17 s. Also, by increasing the Peclet number from 5.5 to 115, the Sherwood number increased from 1.74 to 4.06. In addition, the increase in the Schmidt number in the system leads to a slower dissolution time. Finally, the polydispersity in the system was studied.

In this study, the liquid-solid fluidized bed was simulated using a combination of Lattice Boltzmann and smoothed profile method and then by changing the geometrical parameters contains of, particles diameter, width of the bed, initial bed height and the placement of the particles in non-uniform particles bed, their effects on porosity are studied. The hydrodynamic model of the flow is based on the LBM and SPM is adopted to enforce the no-slip boundary condition at the liquid-solid interface. The kinematics and trajectory of the discrete particles are evaluated by Newton's law of motion. Comparison of numerical and empirical results for porosity at different velosities showed acceptable accuracy. Also, Simulations indicate that an increase in width of the bed and particles diameter increased porosity and an increase in initial bed height decreased the porosity of the bed. Finally, the effect of placement of particles in none uniform fluidized bed showed the highest porosity accurse where particles with a small diameter stay on particles with a large diameter, also where the particles are mixed together the lowest porosity was accrued.

In the present work, we offer a novel numerical algorithm based on the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) to consider the motion of many circular particles in a non-Newtonian power law fluid in Couette flow and it is combined with the smoothed profile method which explains the movement of particles. At first, the velocity variation of shear-thickening has been analyzed and the results was compared with the numerical results of the previous works. The present study is a first report, which investigate flow behavior of circular particles with the same and different size in power law medium in Couette flow on the LBM framework. The effective viscosity of a particulate suspension that are placed randomly inside two parallel walls is considered for 0.04

Investigation of fluid-solid interaction has been studied as an introduction to simulate a wide range of engineering problems such as fluidized beds, sediment transportation and catalyst inks in fuel cells. An efficient method for performing such simulations is a combination of Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) and Smoothed Profile Method (SPM). In addition, the operations in the SPM are local; it can be easily programmed for parallel processing. In this approach, the flow is computed on fixed Eulerian grids which are also used for the particles. Owing to the use of the same grids for simulation of fluid flow and particles, this method is highly efficient for purpose of parallel processing by means of GPU. In this study, a combination of Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) and Smoothed Profile method has been implemented in parallel processing on GPU. For validation purpose, the fluid flow within a channel was investigated. Results suggest that computational time can be reduced up to 80 times by means of GPU.Then, drag force exerted on a sphere in fluid flow and the sedimentation of one sphere in a quiescent fluid were studied. Results show that performance of GPU can be increased up to 6.5 million fluid nods per second by using this method.
