A model for the natural vortex length in centrifugal separators

The aim of this project is to formulate a knowledge-based model for the "natural vortex length" in reverse-flow centrifugal separators, to replace the well-known and much used, but seriously inadequate, empirical model of Alexander from 1949. The "natural vortex length" is the length between the...

Solid Separation from Highly Viscous Liquids by Cyclonic Technology

This is a proposal for a research project, which focuses on generating and applying basic knowledge about the separation of sand from liquids such as heavy crude oil and mono-ethylene glycol, also when mixed with water. The project will involve efficiency testing, experimental particle tracking ...

Numerical simulation of dust lifting

This project focuses on numerical simulation of dense dust clouds by the Eulerian-Lagrangian method. Applications include a wide range of processes dependent on the behaviour of dense particle clouds or strands, e.g. gas cleaning with cyclones, pneumatic conveying, fluidized and rising beds, and ...

Shearing particle collisions studied by MD

It is proposed to investigate the response of a liquid bridge to a shearing collision by means of Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. From various fields there is a keen interest in the liquid bridging that occurs as an equilibrium phenomenon between two closely opposed moist surfaces, and MD i...
