A theoretical model of liquid and particle random fluctuations is proposed for gravity-driven flows of inertial homogeneous suspensions. It is based on a paradigm assuming that fluctuations of both liquid velocity and particle slip velocity are driven by fluctuations of the phase indicator function. It is shown that this model accurately predicts the energy of the fluctuations of both the fluid and particle phases measured in a homogeneous solid-liquid fluidized bed over a wide range of particle volume fractions, from 10% to 45%
