Abstract:
As a widely used separation device, a cyclone separator is especially important to improve its separation efficiency. In this paper, a new two-stage cyclone separator is designed and modeled by the Reynolds stress model. Under the premise of determining the diameter of the second-stage cyclone (D), the effects of five first-stage cyclone diameters (Du) on the performance of the two-stage cyclone are simulated. The performance of the single-stage cyclone separator is also obtained. The results show that Du has significant effects on the internal pressure field, flow field, and vortex core of the two-stage cyclone. Compared with the single-stage cyclone separator, the separation efficiency of the two-stage cyclone separator is significantly improved. When Du = 6D, the separation efficiency is improved by 15.5% compared with that of the single-stage cyclone. In addition, the two-stage cyclone separator can effectively reduce the Euler number.

A propeller is a twisted airfoil, where the angle of the chord changes with respect to the location, along the radial station, as shown in Figure 1. Propellers are widely used in aircraft and watercraft propulsion systems thereby necessitating detailed characterizations of propellers to design high performance vehicles.
