Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fluidized bed reactors are currently used in many industrial and commercial processes due to several advantages, such as uniform heat distribution and rapid interactions between mediums. However, there are also certain practical disadvantages, such as the fact that fluidized bed reactors are difficult to control and known for their unpredictable behavior, especially because of the lack of understanding of their behavior. It is possible to develop a deeper understanding of these complex systems using multiphysics-based numerical methods based on coupled computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling and simulation models.
This Special Issue welcomes fellow researchers to submit their research contributions in the field of coupled computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling and simulations of fluid-particulate systems in fluidized bed reactors. Contributions may include the development of models, experimental validation of existing models, as well as analytical verifications. The fluidized bed models may include Eulerian–Eulerian, Eulerian-Lagrangian, Lagrangian–Lagrangian, smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH), discrete phase model (DPM), discrete element model (DEM), and other relevant modeling and simulation techniques. Works based on in-house codes and/or the use of open-source/commercial simulation software will be considered.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
