Fluidization of 60 truncated cylinders in a 2D-like bed filled with an incompressible viscous Newtonian Fluid:

• The dimension of computational domain = (0,3)x(0,0.25)x(0,8).
• The radii are 0.1 and the lengths of cylinders are 0.4.
• The density of ellipsoid = 1.1
• The density of fluid = 1
• The viscosity = 0.01
• The mesh size for the velocity field = 1/80
• The mesh size for the pressure = 1/40
• The time step=0.001
• The averaged speed of 60 cylinders is 1.109 for 0 < t < 3
• The averaged particle Reynolds number is 44.36 based on the length of the central axis (which is 0.4).
• The maximal averaged particle speed is 1.476 for 0 < t < 3, Re = 59.04.
• The maximal single particle speed is 4.931 for 0 < t < 3, Re= 197.24.
