Abstract

Abstract

FLUENT 15.0, a computational fluid dynamics software, was used to numerically simulate the hydrocyclone with 40°, 45°, 50° and 55° of the upper cone angle of the central cone. The influence of central cone structure on flow field and separation efficiency in hydrocyclone are studied by numerical analysis, and taking into account the erosion status of the central cone structure.The simulation results indicate that proper reduction of the upper cone angle can improve the separation efficiency and improve the erosion status of the upper cone section, while too small upper cone angle will reduce the separation efficiency and increase the erosion status of the upper cone section. It can be seen that there is an optimum angle between the 40° and 50° of the upper cone angle of the central cone, which can result in higher separation efficiency and less erosion. The simulation results also provide a reference for further optimization of the central cone structure.
