- In this study, we use a combined CFD-Discrete Element Method to assess predictive capabilities and numerical implications of a coarse-graining technique in Wurster fluidised-bed coaters. We investigated both hydrodynamics and heat and mass transfer and conducted simulations of a full three-phase system for the original and three coarse-grained systems, analysing velocity distributions, macroscopic solid stresses, moisture content and phase temperatures. We achieved a logarithmic simulation speed-up by aggregating up to 64 original particles into each coarse grain. This was accomplished while maintaining fidelity to the original CFD-DEM system in terms of reproducing with high accuracy macroscopic granular flow properties in different regions of a coater (drying, tube and bed regions). By integrating a liquid spray and humid air, we demonstrated that the phase temperatures were accurately predicted within the coarse-grained system, with a high capability of delivering liquid spray distributions with the same uniformity and drying. We also give arguments for choosing a certain degree of coarse-graining as a compromise between a desired reduction of computational costs and a trustworthy reproduction of granular-flow physics encountered in different regions of a Wurster bed. Our findings pave the way to using CFD-DEM to industrially-scaled Wurster-bed systems, which is currently unfeasible due to prohibitive computational costs.
