Popis: Periodic flow behavior was investigated in a T-type bend of a circulating fluidized-bed riser. With the geldart group A particle, experimental observations suggested that a periodic flow behavior formed under certain conditions. The gas velocity in the T-type bend was simulated using a renormalization group k-e turbulence model and measured by hot-wire anemometry. Flow patterns in the T-type bend were numerically studied under different superficial gas velocities. Preliminary results suggested that there was a pair of vortices moving periodically in the T-type bend, appearing, increasing, decreasing, and shedding in a cycle, which possessed partial characteristics of a Karman vortex street and Dean vortex. When the superficial gas velocity Vg was low (
