CFD - Cyclone Separator

The simulated fluid phase is air (20°C, 1 atm, inlet velocity 12.7 m/s), and the dispersed phase density is 2770 Kg/m³ (limestone powder). It is a one-way Eulerian-Lagrangian simulation, so only a pulse containing 50,000 particles was injected (diameter varying 1-9 microns). The numerical solution is accomplished by the computational code UNSCYFL3D (Unsteady Cyclone Flow 3D). This in-house tool is based on the finite volume method in unstructured three dimensional grids. The SIMPLE (Semi-Implicit Method for
