| Summary: | Experimental results and a 3-D simulation of gas flow in a cyclone are presented in this work. Inlet gas velocities of 11.0 m/s and 12.5 m/s and measurements of local pressures were used to determine radial distributions of the tangenital velocity component at five axial positions throughout the equipment. The aim of this work was to analyze an anisotropic turbulence model, the Differential Stress Model (DSM). First and higher order interpolation schemes and a numerical strategy were used to assure stability and convergence of the numerical solutions carried out using the computational fluid-dynamics code CFX 4.4. The models showed a satisfactory capability to predict fluid dynamics behavior since the calculated distribution of velocity components match the experimental results very well. |
