In spite of the wide application of fluidization techniques in many             industrial processes, the design and scale-up of a commercial size              fluidized bed reactor is still based on past experience and information         obtained from building a sequence of prototype reactors. This procedure         is not only costly and time-consuming but has led to overdesigning and          delaying of the development of many processes.  One of the many                 problems encountered is the stability of operation.  It is in this area         that analytical and experimental research will be performed focusing on         stabilization against bubbles, electromechanical coupling, and wave             propagation and reflection in fluidized beds of dielectric or magnetic          particles using electric or magnetic fields.
