The mechanical simplicity of the hydrocylone deceptively suggests non-intricate and well-understood device hydrodynamics. On the contrary, improved understanding on the hydrodynamic behaviour and operation of the hydrocyclone are still being sought in order that, its full classification potential may be realised. Current models describing such behaviour are predominantly highly empirical hence the need for continued complementary research via computational techniques such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). This dissertation presents the outcome of an investigation into the flow characteristics of a hydrocyclone. Assessment of its hydrodynamic behaviour was conducted via interpretation of numerically predicted velocity and pressure field profiles arising from single phase (water-only) and multiphase (water/air) flow fields. 2014-07-31T11:30:57Z 2014-07-31T11:30:57Z 2004 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/5573 eng application/pdf Department of Mechanical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
