CFD Simulation and Experimental Study on Solid-Liquid Hydrocyclone

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a numerical simulation and experimental study on a solid-liquid hydrocyclone. In the simulation, the standard k-ε turbulence model and the zero-equation model are employed to compute the flow field of the two phases in the hydrocyclone under different conditions, such as viscosity of the liquid, particle size and flow rate. In the experiment, a hydrocyclone is manufactured and measured for the separation efficiency and pressure drop in the test system. The simulation result of hydrocyclone performance matches well with the experimental data.
