FLUENT and EDEM were applied to simulate liquid–solid coupling in a 3D homogenous fluidization. The dynamics of destabilization of the granular material immersed by homogeneous fluidization were observed. The effect of initial packing density of granular stack and fluidization rate on the fluidization’s transient regime, the configuration of particles in the fluidized bed and the variation of bed height were analyzed and discussed. According to the results, there was an original observation of a strong impact of the initial density of an initially static granular stack on the transient fluidization regime. Depending on the material initial volume fraction, there was a difference in grain dynamics. For an initially loose stack, a homogeneous turbulent fluidization was observed, whereas for an initially dense stack, there was a mass takeoff of the stack. The propagation of wave porosity instability, from the bottom to the top of the stack with fast kinetics that decompacted the medium, followed this mass takeoff.
