The results of a numerical simulation of a spouted bed grain dryer based on the Eulerian Multiphase Model are presented. The influence of various model parameters on the height of the fountain forming in the drying chamber was analyzed. The following computer model parameters were considered: air inlet velocity, grain size and density, and the lowering of bed surface resulting from drying shrinkage and grain pack. An analysis of the approach of turbulence modeling of similar systems is included. The number of computation dimensions and numerical grids is discussed. The presented studies are based on earlier experiments conducted at a dedicated experimental station. Their main objective was to determine the basic principles of modeling fluidized beds found in grain dryers and the computer model's sensitivity to changes in its basic parameters.
