Resumen

Los reactores de lecho fluidizado son equipos utilizados en la industria de hidrocarburos, para procesos heterogéneos gas-sólido, tanto catalíticos como no catalíticos. Las aplicaciones industriales más importantes incluyen el cracking catalítico, combustión y/o gasificación de carbón, biomasa y residuos sólidos, entre otros. En este trabajo se estudia el comportamiento fluidodinámico gas-solido, usando técnicas computaciones de Dinámica de Fluidos (CFD) en un lecho fluidizado a nivel laboratorio de 1 m de longitud y 5 cm de altura de lecho, se implementó la metodología de Large Eddy simulation (LES) y mallas casi-uniformes construidas previo cálculo de las micro escalas turbulentas. Las simulaciones fueron validadas con datos de la literatura, logrando describir el comportamiento de descenso de partículas (annulus) , sin necesidad de refinamiento cerca de la pared y mejorando el tiempo de computo en comparaciones con simulaciones realizadas usando RANS.
