Bio-particulate matter includes grains, cereal crops, and biomass that are considered
discrete materials with irregular size and shape. Although the flow of these particles can …

Erosion wear of the centrifugal pump components is considered one of the principal hurdles
for pumping and transporting the particle-fluid flow in the hydraulic system. Although the …

This paper reviews the models developed for the flow field inside inverse-flow cyclone
separators. In a first part, traditional algebraic models and their foundations are summarized …

Flow in industrial hydrocyclones is always turbulent, selection of suitable turbulence model
is key for accurate predictions. This paper aims to find the appropriate turbulence model for …

It has been shown that tangential inlet return cyclones are commonly used for inlet air
filtration of off-road vehicle engines. The wear of the engine elements, and thus their …

Hydrocyclone is a key unit operation in mineral process industry and simulation of which
using CFD techniques is gaining popularity in process design and optimization. The success …

The motion of solid particles in a cyclone separator is studied using computational fluid
dynamics (CFD). The Reynolds stress model (RSM) is used to simulate the turbulent flow of …

Cyclone separators find wide applications in high-temperature and pressure environments
such as circulating fluidized bed (CFB), pressurized fluidized bed coal combustion (PFBC) …

In this work, the particle–gas flows in two small sampling cyclone separators are simulated
by means of Large Eddy Simulations (LES). The Eulerian–Lagrangian approach is used to …

The flow field of a 2 in. hydrocyclone is shown to be significantly asymmetric without
precession, through both computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and experimental observation …
