Comparison of Internal Velocity Field of Two Types Hydrocyclone with Different Inlets

Based on FLUENT software,numerical simulation of two types hydrocyclone with different inlet were performed.And the difference of velocity field between two types hydrocyclone which caused by different inlet was analyzed.For hydrocyclone with tangential inlet,The eccentricity of the flow field caused by unsymmetrical inlet was particularly emphasized.Based on the comparison of internal flow field,the main reason of the higher efficiency and lower energy consume and wider operating scope for the hydrocyclone with axial vane-guided inlet were further understand.
