Cyclone Research

I am currently using a commercial computational package (FLUENT) to investige the behaviour of a gas cyclone.

Click here to watch an animation of the axial velocity profile just above the outlet.

Click here to watch an animation of the tangential velocity profile just above the outlet.

Click here to watch an animation of the constant length velocity vectors around the outlet on the plane y=0.

If you have any questions or comments about this research, please e-mail me at (dchapple@ualberta.ca)

I also do research on mixing. One of the Impellers we use is a Rushton Turbine which looks like this.
