A CFD analysis on the effect of vortex finder and cylindrical length on cyclone hydrodynamics and centrifugal forces

The article presents a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) calculation to predict and to evaluate the flow field and centrifugal forces of gas cyclones. The numerical solutions were carried out using commercial CFD code FLUENT 6.0. The problem of modelling highly swirling flow is overcame by means of...
