Abstract
An assumption commonly, but by no means universally, made in the stability analysis of the homogeneously fluidized state is that the pressure field may be well approximated by its gravitational component alone. This assumption is critically examined: the results indicate that it is valid for most cases of practical interest but can lead to significant discrepancies for liquid fluidization of low‐density particles.
