Numerical Analysis of the Effect of the Vortex Finder on the Hydrocyclone’s Split Water Ratio and Separation Performance

Hydrocyclones are devices used in numerous areas of the chemical, food, and mineral industries to separate fine particles. A hydrocyclone with a diameter of <i>d</i>50 mm was modeled using the commercial Simcenter STAR-CCM+13 computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation package. The num...
