Mechanical and dynamical characteristics of semifluidized beds of single‐size particles in solid‐liquid system were investigated. A semifluidized bed is a type of fluidized bed in which the bed expansion is partially restricted. The emphasis was placed on the study of packed bed formation and pressure drop increase when the semifluidized beds were formed by the compression of fluidized beds. The data showed good agreement with the theoretical and semiempirical equations based on a simple model of fluidized beds. The results of this investigation would also contribute to the understanding of fluidized beds.
