In this paper, the turbulent air droplet flow inside a single passage of a curved type vane separator has been studied numerically. The simulation is based on the Eulerian - Lagrangian method. For turbulent air flow calculations, a computer code was developed to solve the Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) equations together with the equations of Reynolds Stress Transport Model (RSTM) o...

Droplet breakage is a common phenomenon in converting pipe flow to swirl vane-type separator (VTPS)’ inlet. The evaluation of the dispersed droplet sizes after crucial optimum design inlet structure and estimation oil-water separation performance. This paper studies behavior produced by guiding vanes. Experiments are performed with two different vanes at VTPS. oil droplets downstream measured s...

The flow control in twin air-intakes is necessary to improve the performance characteristics, since the flow traveling through curved and diffused paths becomes complex, especially after merging. The paper presents a comparison between two well-known techniques of flow control: active and passive. It presents an effective design of a vortex generator jet (VGJ) and a vane-type passive vortex gen...
