Pressure drop measurements and results of an extensive flow visualization study to examine the particle‐free air gap formation around horizontal, rigidly‐mounted circular cylinders in a two dimensional vibrated bed, are presented. Effects of particle size and surface stickiness as well as other key operating parameters viz. aeration rate and vibrational frequency were examined for single as well as multiple cylinder configurations in staggered and in‐line arrangements.
