Numerical Simulation of Three-Dimensional Unsteady Flow Field in the Cyclone

Article Preview

Abstract:

Large eddy simulation to describe the turbulent flow of airflow field was used to calculate the unsteady turbulent flow characteristics in the cyclone. It funded that the tangential velocity in the cyclone profile behaved like rankine vortex, with the downward semi-free vortex of the outer layer and the upward forced vortex. With the increasing import gas velocity, the swirling strength of the center increased which reduced collection efficiency by clouding the dust particles in the ash bucket to the center airflow.
