Numerical Simulation Analysisand Research to Fluid Field of A Coalescence-cyclone Separator

Wenju Zhao

Abstract

In order to improve the separation efficiency of the hydrocyclone,a new type of cyclone separator is proposed. According to computational fluid dynamics method,a new cyclone separator,coalescence-cyclone separator,is numerically simulated by Fluent software based on a co-rotating outflow reverse-cone hydrocyclone,and is compared with the co-rotating outflow reversecone hydrocyclone. Optimal inlet flowrate,inter oil volume fraction and tangential water phase outlet split ratio of the coalescencecyclone separator were selected.
