- Abstract
- The main purpose of present study is to comprehensively clarify the impact of cylinder vortex stabilizer on fluctuating turbulence structure of a Stairmand cyclone separator on basis of Large Eddy Simulation. The cylinder vortex stabilizer is easy and could be applied to any existing cyclone model without any major replacement. This novel modification in cyclone body is considered to alleviate the negative effect of entrainment of particles from the ash hopper and swing of the vortex end in swirling flow. The numerical simulations were conducted based on Stairmand cyclone separator and three new models with variation of vortex stabilizer length and diameter. The results showed that the cylinder vortex stabilizer could enhance flow instability and improve fluctuating turbulence structure to some extent. It is confirmed that cylinder vortex stabilizer could significantly reduce the tangential velocity in the inner quasi-forced vortex region of the cyclones. Comparing with Stairmand cyclone, the swirling first and second peak frequency of cyclone model with vortex stabilizer (Length L/D: 6.5, diameter d/D: 0.12) have been confirmed to get considerable reduction of 11.54% and 10.86%, respectively. This modified cyclone model is comparatively better for enhancement of flow stability, providing about 18.4% maximum reduction of normalized flow angle, 24.8% of rotational kinetic energy in dust collector and 14.2% in the main body of cyclone. & COPY; 2023 The Society of Powder Technology Japan.
