Experimental data on flooding characteristics were obtained in a Turbu
lent Bed Contactor (TBC). The flooding conditions and the mechanism of
flooding in a single stage TBC have been analyzed for light and dense
particles in order to obtain useful correlations that are easier to c
omprehend. The proposed correlations predict all the combinations of f
looding velocities over a large range of variables.
