This paper reviews the models developed for the flow field inside inverse-flow cyclone
separators. In a first part, traditional algebraic models and their foundations are summarized …

A critical assessment is presented for the existing numerical models used for the
performance prediction of hydrocyclones. As the present discussion indicates, the flow …

Flow in industrial hydrocyclones is always turbulent, selection of suitable turbulence model
is key for accurate predictions. This paper aims to find the appropriate turbulence model for …

In this paper, a set of potential hydrocyclone designs are explored for fines classification
using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technique. The CFD model uses Volume of …

This work presents a numerical study of liquid–gas–solid flow in classifying hydrocyclones
(CHs). In the numerical model, the turbulent flow of a liquid–gas–solid mixture is modelled …

Hydrocyclones are widely used to separate coal fines by size in the coal industry. They,
however often face the problem associated with the misplacement of particles at the outlets …

Hydrocyclones generally follow a conventional design and may have some limitations on
separation performance. This paper presents a numerical study of hydrocyclones with …

The entrainment of fine particles in the underflow and coarse particles in the overflow is a
well-known problem in separation using a conventional cylindrical–conical hydrocyclone …

This paper presents a numerical study of the multiphase flow and performance of
hydrocyclone by means of two-fluid model, with special reference to the effects of diameter …

Hydrocyclones used for separating coal particles (< 2 mm) by sizes suffer from particle
misplacement related to different particle densities. This paper presents a numerical study …
