Research on the Simulation of Airflow Field in Cyclone Separator Based on ANSYS

Abstract:

In this paper, we use ANSYS to simulate the cyclone separator, analysis the velocity of the internal airflow field, pressure distribution and temperature distribution. The result shows that the mainstream of a cyclone separator is double rotating flow, and in the outer downstream areas, with the increase of the radius, the airflow rate decreases accordingly; In the inside upstream region, flow velocity at the center is larger, while flow around is smaller relatively; Besides, the total pressure in the inport section of the cyclone is highest, and the pressure inside of the exhaust pipe is lowest. The mainstream of the airflow field is double-rotating in the cyclone flow; The distribution of airflow temperature is related to the flow field distribution.
