    Swirling Fluidized Bed (SFB) is a system that possess a plenum chamber and distributor air gap which leading up to dispersion of the airflow to the bed. The current SFB is in contrast with conventional fluidization systems whereby the effect of multi-stage through blades inclination angle (15°) and number of blades (60) was carried out. The simulation was used to compute and assess the performance outcomes of velocity distribution in a SFB. Therefore, the present study focuses on the numerical analysis procedure on the air flow distribution impacted by annular blade distributor arrangement in a Multi-stage SFB via ANSYS Fluent before a detailed study on selected variable would be carried out. As a consequence, the findings of the primary study that have been conducted are in line with expectations formed by earlier research.

    Flowing gas in fluidized bed through selected inlet distributor may imparts a drag effect on the particles, would cause an increase in gas flow, that maybe sufficient to rearrange the particles movement. Thus, study on the airflow in a fluidization system through numerical analysis has been conducted to investigate the airflow distribution affected by new model distributor of twist blade distributor configuration. The present study would emphasis on computational procedure and parametric study via ANSYS Fluent before a detailed study on selected twist blade distributor are conducted. The selected parametric study on the twist blade distributor configuration whereby the twist blade angle (100°), horizontal inclination angle (15°), radial inclination angle (10°) and number of blades (60) was carried out. Therefore, the results of the studies that have been carried out meet the expected standards based on previous studies.
