Numerical Study of the Gas Flow in the Swirl Tube

Article Preview

Abstract:

The gas flow field in the swirl tube was studied by experimental measurement and numerical simulation. The results show that the simulation results based on the Reynolds stress turbulent model is in good agreement with the measured results probed by the five orifice Pitot-tube. Meantime, it is analyzed that there is short cut stream at the end of the exit tube, and at the dust discharge jaws, the particles are prone to be re-entrained from the hopper. All results above provide a base for further research on the optimization of the structure and the improvement of the separation performance of the swirl tube.
