Cyclone separators are used to remove particles from an air stream. Air enters the inlet at a velocity of 2 m/s along with heavy and light particles. You can see the geometry and conditions for the simulation in the figure below:

1. Inlet–Velocity = 2 m/s

2. Outlet–Specified Pressure Outlet = 0 Pa

Air density = 1.1614 kg/m3

Air viscosity = 1.846 e-05 Pa.s

Light Particles Density = 10 kg/m3

Light Particles Multicomponent Mixing using a Nozzle: OverviewRadius = 3e-6 m

Heavy Particles Density = 2000 kg/m3

Heavy Particles Radius = 0.0005 m
