Abstract

The mixture two-phase turbulence model and theory of particle dynamics is used to simulate the high concentration water-sand two-phase flow in a hydrocyclone. The article mainly analyzes the particle volumetric concentration distribution and separative efficiency of different diameter particles in a hydrocyclone. The simulation result shows that the particle volumetric concentration distribution of different diameter particles is nonuniform in a hydrocyclone. In the annular space, the small diameter particles are affected by the shortcut flow greatly and have high concentration near the wall of the overflow pipe, while the big diameter particles are mainly distributed near the wall in a hydrocyclone. In cylinder space and cone space, different-diameter particles show a similar distribution, the smaller-diameter particles mainly in inner vortex and the larger-diameter particles in outer vortex.
