Original Kurzfassung:
Full-scale simulations of large-scale dense gas-solid flows, like fluidized beds, are not feasable due to computational limitations,
therefore, coarse computational grids are used. These coarse grids, however, do not resolve mesoscale structures, like clusters
and streamers. The influence of these mesoscale structures on the macroscopic behaviour of the gas-solid flow cannot be
neglected, thus, these unresolved terms need to be modelled. We use spatial averaging to derive a model for the unresolved
interphase heat transfer. The filtered heat transfer can be approximated by the resolved heat transfer corrected by the drift
temperature. The drift temperature is the difference between the gas-phase temperarture and the gas-phase temperature as
seen by the particles. This term stems from phase averaging. The proposed closure model for the unresolved heat transfer fits
well with the predictions obtained by filtering highly resolved fine grid simulation data. Finally, a transport equation for the
turbulent thermal energy is derived in order to close the drift temperature.
