Sedimentation of gas-fluidized particles with random shape and size

L. Girolami

Résumé

This work deals with the fluidization and sedimentation of fine solid particles, of random shape and size, similar to those commonly involved in geophysical mass flows, such as pyroclastic flows. While heated to avoid the effect of moisture and the formation of clusters, particles were first uniformly fluidized by a hot gas flow, up to a high expansion rate, and then sedimented after stopping the gas supply. Three different materials are explored, involving contrasted geometries, each characterized by a specific particle volume fraction at packing Φpack. Within the range of values of the solid volume fraction Φs/Φpack studied here, the dense suspension forms a fully fluidized homogeneous mixture, with no segregation, for which the fluidization and sedimentation velocities are equal. Despite a significant discrepancy between the intrinsic properties of the different materials used, all measured velocities are observed to collapse into a single master curve f(Φs/Φpack) provided that they are normalized by the relevant scaling. Regarding the sedimentation velocity, Φpack turns out to be sufficient to characterize the material made with a random distribution in particle shape and size.
