Abstract: The particle down flowing velocity in an experimental standpipe with internal diameter of 150 mm and height of 5 000 mm was measured by a particle velocity measuring instrument. The particle materials used in the experiment were fluid catalytic crack(FCC) catalysts. Making an analogy with laminar flow and turbulent flow in fluid mechanics, Reynolds number of the granular flow in the standpipe was used to determine the granular flow pattern. The results show that in the standpipe there are three critical Reynolds numbers which are Rep1、Rep2 and Rep3. The flow behavior of granular in the standpipe can be classified as four flow patterns depending on Reynolds number, namely, intermittent dense flow, fluctuating dense flow, transitional period from dense flow to dilute flow, and dilute flow status.

Keywords: standpipe; granular flow; Reynolds number; flow pattern
