The incipient instability in gas fluidized bed has not been fully understood despite extensive studies were conducted. A new transient theory was proposed by adopting the principles advanced by Tan and Thorpe (1992 and 1996) and Tan et al. (2003), and this was verified by computational fluid dyna...
