Abstract
The random motion of mono-dispersed particles in a liquid fluidized bed was measured and processed from video recordings, using a refractive index matching method. 3D trajectories of coloured particles have been collected in a wide range of solid fraction, and statistical quantities have been derived in the range of high particle Reynolds number (O(10) < Re p < O(103)) and intermediate Stokes number (O(1) < St < O(10)). The evolution of the particle velocity variance as a function of solid fraction has been determined for different concentrations.
