Hi everyone, <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I am doing research for my master degree thesis. I am trying to create a gas liquid cyclone separator (the gas should be air and the liquids water and oil) with a tangential inlet. I am trying to include ANSYS simulations of the vortex within the cyclone model.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I have drawn my cyclone model on spaceclaim and imported it onto ANSYS, I am looking for guidance for what parameters I should set along with boundary conditions.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I have tried to follow some tutorials here on the forum and on youtube, but most of them are about separation of solid particles from the main flow, none of them is about separation of gasses and liquids.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I am just a beginner, so I could really use some help.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Usually these are the steps I follow:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1) steady simulation, with gravity<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
2)In the model I set Multiphase ( air and water.. I’ll try to add the oil later when all will begin to work) and Turbulent (k epsilon – RNG- Swirl dominated flow). <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
3) In physics I set all the phases<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
4)Materials: air and water liquid<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
5)Boundary conditions: the inlet is a velocity inlet ( the phases are 0.5 air and 0.5 water, but I am not sure I’m doing this correctly) and liquid and gas outlets are pressure outlets ( again, I am not sure I am doing this correctly)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
6)For solution methods I select second order equations<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
7) I do not perform an hybrid initialization<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

When I tried to perform transient simulations I had a lot of troubles with selecting the correct Timesteps for having the Courant Number smaller than one, but even in that case I didn’t get a plausible solution; with steady simulation, again, I don’t know exactly what I am doing so I can really use some help.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hoping that someone could give me some advises, thank you!<\/p>\n
