In this work, a comparative study of Euler-Euler and Euler-Lagrange approaches for modeling gas-solid flows in the multiple-spouted bed has been carried out to investigate the hydrodynamics of gas-solid flows. The influence of inlet gas velocity on the hydrodynamics of gas-solid flows in the multiple-spouted bed is investigated as well. Hydrodynamic characteristics of gas-solid flows such as flow behaviors, solid volume fraction, particle velocity and particle trajectory are analyzed and discussed in detail, providing some basic mechanism analysis of the gas-solids in the multiple-spouted bed. It is found that the central spout gas jet is a little confined by the auxiliary gas jets, and the hole-to-hole synergy is quite obvious when the auxiliary spout gas velocity is higher than the central spout gas velocity. When central/auxiliary gas velocity is 10/20 m/s, the maximum vertical particle velocities predicted by Euler-Euler and Euler-Lagrange approaches are 452 mm/s and 721 mm/s at the height of 10 mm respectively. A typical cycle period of a single particle is about 1.25 s, and the residence time in the spout regions is about 0.14 s in one cycle period in auxiliary dominant pattern. The curves of bed expansion height versus time calculated by Euler-Lagrange approach rise and fall periodically, while the curves calculated by Euler-Euler approach keep steady with little change. It is much easier for particles to be blew in the multiple-spouted bed using the Euler-Lagrange approach. The simulation results obtained from two models can provide some guidance for modifying the multiple-spouted bed to optimize physical operations such as drying and coating in the multiple-spouted bed.
