Optimization of the Aircraft Air/Oil Separator by the Response Surface Determined from Modeling of Three-Dimensional Two-Phase Flow

This paper presents optimisation of the geometry aircraft air–oil separator (AAOS) performed to improve device performance. For this type, most important operating parameters are oil quality, efficiency and pressure drop. In order understand relationships between geometric their impact on operation, an analysis was conducted using Response Surface Method (RSM). The made based results numerical simulations volume-of-fluid (VOF) method. Pareto also carried out, which determined inlet width height diameter By solving task a genetic algorithm, it possible propose new for AAOS. favourable relations AAOS indicated they compared with those preferred other geometries cyclone separators.
