Inconsistent results in cyclone modeling

Hi all,
for my graduation project I have to model a gas cyclone. The first step i'm taking is validating a model (=closure model, boundary conditions and other pre-settings) by two reference cyclones. In velocity measurements on these reference cyclones, a decrease in axial velocity at the core of the cyclone is observed. In my validation, I have managed to model this for one of the two cyclones, but for the other one it seems to be impossible. Even if exactly the same settings are used as for the other cyclone, the velocity decrease at the core is not observed. Does this sound familiar to anyone, or is there anyone who thinks he might know the cause for this strange behavior? My settings are: Transient simulation Total time: 0,5s (but I also have tried longer) Timestep: 0,005s Fluid: Air at 298K Closure model: SSG Reynolds Stress Wall boundary: No slip Inlet boundary: Normal velocity Top outlet boundary: Opening with relative pressure and flow 'Normal to boundary condition' Bottom outlet boundary: Closed, no slip Advection scheme: High resolution Transient scheme: Second Order Backward Euler Residual target: 10^-4 Mesh: >10^6 elements with 5 inflation layers (y+ is in the range 20-200 for the complete domain) regards, Boris |
