This is Volume 1 of a two-volume set offering a comprehensive treatment of the
fundamentals and applications of the boundary element method BEM in thermo-fluids …

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 …

The performance of a cyclone is generally assessed using the pressure drop and the
collection efficiency of the cyclone. In the present paper, a multi-objective optimization of a …

This paper constitutes a preliminary study of the two-phase flow in a Gas–Liquid Cylindrical
Cyclone (GLCC© 1) separator. A GLCC consists in a vertical pipe with a downward inclined …

This paper presents a numerical study of the vortex eccentricity in a gas cyclone and its
effect on the performance of the cyclone. The gas flow in the cyclone was modeled as an …

Nine modifications of Stairmand high-efficiency type cyclone with various cylindrical and
conical heights were used to investigate their effects on pressure drop and flow field within …

Surface roughness is a highly practical parameter during the manufacture and operation of
cyclone separators, but is not often researched. This study was carried out to investigate the …

In the present study, multi-objective optimization of a gas cyclone is performed using a
genetic algorithm (GA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques to minimize …

Introduction: The rising demand for pharmaceutical particles with tailored physicochemical
properties has opened new markets for spray drying especially for solubility enhancement …

The phenomena of precessing vortex core (PVC), entrainment of particles from the ash
hopper, and swing of the vortex end in swirling flow have a negative effect on flow field and …
