This work studies gas-solid slugging fluidized beds with Type-D particles,using two-dimensional simulations based on discrete element model (DEM).DEM performance is quantitatively validated by two commonly accepted correlations for determining slugging behavior.The voidage profiles simulated with bed height corresponding to Baeyens and Geldart (1974) correlation for onset of slugging demonstrate a transitional flow pattern from free bubbling to slugging.The present calculated values for the maximum slugging bed height are in good agreement with the correlation from Matsen et al.(1969).Simulations show that fluidized beds with Type-D particles can operate in the round-nosed slugging regime and also shows that wall slugs and square-nosed slugs tend to be formed with increase in superficial gas velocity and in bed height,respectively.
