• A sliding-window based signal processing method for characterizing particle clusters. • Particle clusters in high-density circulating fluidized bed are characterized. • Time-dependent characteristics of clusters are obtained. • Higher solids holdup and lower velocity of the clusters are found in HDCFB. • More and looser clusters for better gas-solids contacting exist in HDCFB. Particle clusters in CFB risers were identified from the instantaneous solids holdup signals by a new sliding-window based signal processing method. By shifting the time window and calculating the mean and the standard deviation within it, a non-linear threshold curve for identifying the clusters was derived instead of the conventional constant threshold. The optimal sliding window size was determined as W b = 1024 data points by the bisection method on the entire piece of signals. Using the proposed method, a more realistic characterization of the particle clusters in both HDCFB and LDCFB was obtained by considering the bulk fluctuation of the gas-solids flow. The clusters in HDCFB have higher solids holdup and lower velocity than that in the LDCFB. The HDCFB is also found to have a greater number of loose clusters for better gas-solids contacting and exchanges in the center of the riser. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
