The papers presented in the sessions on fluidization and transport phenomena cover a wide range of subjects pertaining to fluid-particle systems. Examples of these subjects include bubble coalescence mechanisms, entrainment, pressure effects and chaos in bubbling and turbulent fluidized beds, wave phenomena and cluster structure in circulating fluidized beds, and spectral and fractal characteristics in gas-liquid-solid fluidized beds. In this summary paper, an overview based on these papers is given and salient results are highlighted.
