Films and rivulets are the two basic forms of dynamic liquid in a three-phase fixed bed (trickle bed), which determines the wetting efficiency of the catalyst. This paper is devoted to the conflicting wetting performance observed between non-porous glass beads and less wettable porous alumina, and a parallel zone model is applied to resolve the complex liquid flow texture. It shows in both cases of glass beads and aluminium pellets, the pressure drop, film flow and rivulet flow fractions all display pronounced multiplicities along with the liquid flow rates in increasing and decreasing branches, although the rivulet flow fraction is reduced to 0 in the liquid decreasing branch started from pulsing flow in both cases. Different from the glass beads, there is almost no wetting efficiency difference for the alumina pellets with respect to liquid flow rate increasing or decreasing, which is in agreement with the dynamic liquid holdup measurements. The liquid is significantly more uniformly distributed over the crosssection in the Al2O3 bed since rivulet flow is much reduced than in the case of glass beads.
