Abstract

The boiling process in a granular porous medium creates several different layers of the bed - a capillary layer [fixed bed], a cracked layer with horizontal cracks, and a chimney layer with vertical channels. Underneath those layers the bed becomes dry. An analysis is presented to calculate the heights of these different layers.
