Numerical Simulation of Double Inlet Cylinder Cyclone Using CFD

Article Preview

Abstract:

Designed a new type of double inlet cylindrical cyclone. For search the separation performance in a cylindrical cyclone. By use of CFD,applied the RSM turbulence model and Euler two-phase flow method and ASM which to simulate separation process and flow field within a double inlet cylindrical cyclone. Then compared with the single inlet cyclone,obtained velocity distribution. Analyzed the differences of discrete phase volume fraction between different viscosity. The results show that the new-style cyclone caught more stable fluid field and higher separation efficiency. And when the viscosity is about 0.75 kg/m•s, the separation efficiency and stability of the oil core is higher. Preliminary flow field law is shown up.
