ABSTRACT Multiphase flow is a basic phenomenon in chemical equipments and chemical unit operation. In multiphase systems, the flow behavior of the fluid and the particles are very complex, not only because of the turbulence but the interaction between particles / fluid and particles / particles. The onset velocity for circulating fluidization regime and the particle residence time distribution in liquid-solid circulating fluidized bed risers are investigated by using the CFD-DEM method. For gas-liquid-solid three-phase flows, this paper establishes a three-phase CFD-DEM model, and investigates the particle motion, phase holdup distribution in traditional three-phase fluidized beds. The onset velocity for circulating fluidization regime is the minimum fluid velocity at which the liquid-solid flow approaches the circulating fluidization regime with particles circulation in the system. This study proposes a new approach to calculate the onset velocity from the particle residence time distribution (RTD) using CFD-DEM simulation. By identifying the intersection of the fitting lines of the particle mean residence time as a function of superficial fluid velocity, the onset velocity is determined and in reasonable agreement with experiments. The simulation indicates that the onset velocity is influenced by the density and size of particles and weakly affected by the column dimensions (bed diameter and height). A power law function is then proposed to correlate
