DPM Cyclone Problem

hkrueger · August 6, 2013, 16:26

Hello,

I constructed a simulation of cyclone with fluent but it's not working as it should.

Boundary conditions are as follows:

structured grid
RSM
second order upwind
velocity inlet
pressure outlet
different surface-DPM-injections
UDF to get information about the condition on different planes

My problem is that the cyclone does not have the efficiency it should have with particles smaller than 1,5e-06 and i can't see what error i could have made.

I'd be grateful for any help or advice.

my mistake was to choose the spherical drag law.

particels under diameter 6,7 E-6m (standard air) has to use the Stokes-Cunningham Law.
