Recently promoted Ivan Mema and Promoter Johan Padding show in this paper that in fluidization of non-round particles, hydrodynamic lift and torque have an important influence on particle distribution and orientation. This seems like a logical statement, but is ignored in almost all larger scale models for fluidization. They have developed correlations for the hydrodynamic forces and torques on suspensions with rod-like particles and show that they can achieve quantitative agreement with experiments.
