Research on Characteristics of Flow Field Inside Tangential Inlet Cyclone Separator by Orthogonal Design Method

Abstract:

The flow field inside cyclone separator is a kind of complex three-dimensional rotation turbulent flow with two-phase separation phenomenon. In order to optimize the structure and shorten the cycle of research and development, it is very essential to find the appropriate calculation method for the flow field inside cyclone separator. In this article, the internal flow field of tangential inlet cyclone separator was simulated and calculated by adopting different calculation model and different numerical simulation scheme by orthogonal design method. And the result was compared with that of existing experiment to find a reasonable method for the simulation of the flow field inside the cyclone. On the basis of standard k-ε model, the numerical simulation scheme was formulated by the orthogonal test method, through the comparison of results, the best combinations are gained; This research result has certain reference value for cyclone separator design and performance optimization.
