Abstract:
The influences of the internal and external outlet angles on separation performance and flow field are compared and analyzed. Two arc functions are employed for controlling the internal and external angles. The separation process in the cyclone tube is calculated by using two-fluid model based on the Eulerian-Eulerian method. The results show that the structure with the internal outlet angle smaller than the external one is more beneficial to the separation performance. It is found that the small internal angle can help increase the swirl number， while the small external angle can help increase the friction coefficient. Several groups of numerical simulations are conducted for the air intake unit of the gas turbine in practice. When the internal outlet angle is 35° and the external outlet angle is 40°， the blade has sufficient cyclone strength and the separation rate of particles with diameters of 10—100 μm is between 70%—98%. The small blade angle is more conducive to the separation of fine particles， leading to violent collision of large particles on the outer wall and reduction of separation efficiency. In addition， reducing the external angle is conducive to the discharge of large particles.
