[TUTORIAL] Cyclone Meshing/Simulation using ICEM CFD and ANSYS FLUENT

christophhippe · October 23, 2014, 20:32

Hello,

Tutorial for a simple cyclone simulation using ICEM CFD and ANSYS FLUENT:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dalhTs4-0-c

A beginner tutorial, which I did for my master thesis. I only have a CFD experience of five months. Still I hope that this tutorial will help some students new to CFD.

My intention was to show the whole cyclone simulation process, starting with a CAD Model and ending with the fractional separation efficiency/total pressure drop. Additionally I show how to create a simple cyclone animation.

//Sorry for my English. But doing this tutorial in German seemed kind of pointless.

Wow, It was really helpful for me. Nice job.

This is a good video. For more information, can you show the details for solution methods for this simulation?

Do you have some tutorial link /info to generate spray drolpets by nozzle?

Hello, Your Tutorial was Great!
but in time 14:41 of your movie. It seems an Important break. your block in time 14:40 is a bit different from that of 14:42.

I did your tutorial, but after lots of effort, I could reach your result at 14:40, but I could not reach what is shown at 14:42...

Can you please explain??

Thanks a lot for your helps

Hallo, Christoph:

Your tutorial was really helpful. I followed your step and trying to Transfer the mesh into Fluent. But there are Errors happen. Could I ask if we Need some Special attentions in converting the mesh to Fluent (I have fluent v6)?

Thank you

Best Regards

hi dear christophhippe
Your tutorial was so helpful. i model this but my pressure drop is 760 pa and i have some question.
do you have only 1 outlet? the bottom of cyclone only use trap dpm wall?
thanks if you can help me
