Notes:
Mean velocity and turbulence measurements in the void spaces of a cubic packing of equal spheres have been made at Reynolds numbers of 27,000, 10,000, 5,000 and 2,500, where NRe is based on superficial air velocity and a sphere diameter of 7 cm. Two cubic arrangements were used: in the regular arrangement, the mean flow was parallel to one of the principal axes, while in the skewed arrangement, the mean flow made equal angles with the three principal axes of the packing.Transverse mean velocity and turbulence intensity profiles across the center line of a central pore have been measured behind every bank and behind the bed for the regular arrangement of ten banks of spheres. The power spectrum and probability distribution of the fluctuating velocity have also been determined.
