The design and operation of circulating fluidized bed (CFB), which offers excellent heat and mass transfer, remain challenging because of the lack of a comprehensive understanding. CFD-DEM is used here for the high-fidelity simulation of the three-dimensional full-loop CFB with six parallel cyclones...
