Analysis of oil droplet deformation model in oil-water dynamic hydrocyclone

Abstract

Abstract The flow field in the rotating drum of dynamic oil-water hydrocyclone separator is a high turbulent shear flow field. Oil droplets are easily deformed, broken and even emulsified when the oil droplets enter the drum. Because oil droplets are affected by high turbulent shear flow field. If oil-water emulsification occurs, the separation performance of dynamic oil-water hydrocyclone will be dramatically reduced. Therefore, it is an important subject to study dynamic oil-water hydrocyclone separator and improve its separation performance to carry out oil drop deformation model research, which can reduce oil drop deformation and fragmentation and formulate measures to avoid oil-water emulsification.
