TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical study of the gas-solid flow in a gas cyclone is carried out by use of the combined discrete element method (DEM) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model where the motion of discrete particles phase is obtained by DEM which applies Newton's equations of motion to every individual particle and the flow of continuum fluid by the traditional CFD which solves the Navier-Stokes equations at a computational cell scale.

TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical model combining discrete element method (DEM) with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is presented to describe dense medium cyclone (DMC) flow system.

TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical study of the gas-liquid-solid multiphase flow in hydrocyclones with different dimensions of body construction, which include the lengths of cylindrical and conical parts and cyclone body size, is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, a mathematical model is developed to study the coal-medium flow in a dense medium cyclone of 1000mm body diameter, where the motion of coal particles is obtained using the Discrete Element Method (DEM) facilitated with the concept of "parcel-particle" while the flow of medium as a liquid-magnetite mixture Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) based on the local averaged Navier-Stokes equations.

TL;DR: In this article, a numerical study of the gas-liquid-solid flow in hydrocyclones with different shaped vortex finder is done based on the mathematical model developed recently, and the results are validated by the good agreement between the measured and predicted results, and here used to study the effect of vortex findinger geometry.
