Filtration
Comprehensive CFD Simulation
and Optimization
of a Cyclone
This project was
performed in
2006 for
optimization of
a cyclone
collection
efficiency.
Cyclones are
widely used in
different
industries for
filtration. This
technology is
based on the
centrifugal
force applied to
the suspended
particles. At
the first step a
precise model
was produced and
a structured
mesh with
boundary layer
growth was
generated. After
primary
simulations, the
effect of
various
geometric
parameters on
collection
efficiency was
studied and an
optimum cyclone
was designed.
With
comprehensive
studies on
cyclone
efficiencies,
filtration
knowledge using
CFD simulations
was developed in
Arya Alborz
Company.
