Particle deposition & Cyclone seperator

marauder · January 25, 2015, 15:31

Which CFD package is more suitable for carrying out simulations in which flows have particles in them. Like cyclone sperator of a CFB boiler etc?
Also will these be able to show me deposition rates?
Thanks.☺

Hi,
I dont think there's a specific cfd code which can do this, you would have to couple an existing CFD solver like OpenFOAM to a DEM (Discrete element method) solver.

MFIX has DEM capabilities. You may also be able to use the two-fluid Eulerian model (in MFIX, FLUENT, or others) to do deposition modeling.
