Predicting pump performance and ensuring operational reliability under two-phase
conditions is a major goal of three-dimensional (3D) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) …

The annular centrifugal extractor (ACE) integrates mixing and separation. It has been widely
used in many industrial fields because of its low residence time, compact structure, and high …

Three-dimensional liquid/gas flow mixture simulations of a centrifugal pump are performed
by a hybrid two-phase solver, which comprises a blending between a Volume-of-Fluid-like …

In recent optical flow experiments on a transparent volute-type radial centrifugal pump, an
accumulation of air bubbles to adherent gas pockets within the impeller blade channels was …

In this work, the GEneralised Multifluid Modelling Approach (GEMMA) is applied to the
simulation of liquid–liquid extraction in a Rotating Disc Column (RDC) and a Pulsed Sieve …

Although annular centrifugal contactors (ACCs) have been widely applied, their complex
operation and its dependence on operational variables are still not fully quantified. That …

This work reports the effect of scaling up annular centrifugal contactors (ACCs) upon the
residence time distribution and the efficiency of extraction of uranium. The experiments were …

A hybrid two-phase flow solver is proposed, based on an Euler–Euler two-fluid model with
continuous blending of a Volume-of-Fluid method when phase interfaces of coherent gas …

The geometrical and hydraulic parameters have a great impact on the mass transfer
characteristics of annular centrifugal contactors. The objective of this study is to evaluate the …

Computational modelling of a centrifugal technique for separating binary mixtures of
thermoplastic polymers in the molten state is presented. The technique may be useful for the …
