Abstract
The numerical simulation of the fluid flow is presented by CFD technique to characterize the flow pattern of cyclone spray scrubber. In this process, the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with the Reynolds stress turbulence model (RSM) for fluid flow are solved by use of the finite volume method based on the SIMPLE pressure correction algorithm in the fluid computational domain. According to the computational results, the tangential velocity, axial velocity and turbulence intensity of the gas flow are addressed in the different flowrate. The results indicate that the CFD method can effectively reveal the mechanism of gas flow in the cyclone spray scrubber.
