Abstract

In this study, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method was used to optimize the structure of anti re-entrainment cone in cyclone separator. The Reynolds stress model (RSM) was used to simulate the flow fields inside a cyclone separator with different anti re-entrainment cone structure, and their axial and tangential velocity distribution. Based upon that, it could be concluded that an anti re-entrainment cone with half ball surface located above the inlet of dust hopper and blow-down from dust hopper could lead to a smoother fluid field upon the inlet of the dust hopper. Besides, an appropriate effective section ratio and blow-down ratio of the cyclone studied in this article could be figured out.
