The research will explore, and model impeller fluidization phenomena.           A simple means of producing locally confined fluidized beds of fine             particles has been observed in the laboratories of the principal                investigators.  The particles are held dynamically within a cylindrical         vessel by the interaction of centrifugal force and connection, both             produced by impeller-driven swirling flow.  The fluidized bed is                maintained in a subregion adjacent to clear fluid without mechanical            barriers such as screens.  Centrifugal force, due to swirling flow,             moves particles radially outward, and secondary flow sweeps them along          the wall from the impeller into a rotating, toroidal bed.  Clear fluid          passes through the fluidized zone.  Upon leaving the fluidized zone,            the fluid is stripped of particles by centrifugal force.  At high               impeller rotation rates, the fluidized bed becomes small and sharply            defined.  Qualitative and quantitative information obtained will                determine whether impeller fluidizers have potential for industrial             use.
