coefficients, discharging and reloading approaches, etc. In general, pebbles move
rapidly in the central region and slowly near the wall or around the corners of the
bed. The uniformity of the pebble flow and distribution of the residence time (relevant to stagnated pebbles) are of crucial importance for the performance and safety
