The symmetric vortex in a cylindrical cyclone with a flat bottom was studied with the aid of smoke, and was probed for the distribution of the velocity. The smoke studies revealed a laminar regime of flow at very low velocities, the normal turbulent regime of operation, and a new periodic regime of flow in which the vortex turned and attached to the cylindrical wall of the cyclone. A curious core region apparently capable of separating tobacco smoke from the air was also found. The velocity distribution measured in the vortex showed how the flow pattern is strongly influenced by the inlet area of the cyclone.read more

Energy Based Solutions of the Bidirectional Vortex
Tony Saad,Joseph Majdalani +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two families of solutions are developed for the bidirectional vortex in a cylindrical chamber using Lagrangian optimization, and the two types of solutions either lag or exceed in system energy the exact Vyas-Majdalani solution while maintaining either lower or higher kinetic energies.

On the Compressible Bidirectional Vortex. Part 2: A Beltramian Flowfield Approximation
Brian A. Maicke,Joseph Majdalani +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a compressible Bragg-Hawthorne framework is proposed to describe the helical motion observed in a cyclonic, bidirectional vortex chamber, which is applied to a wide class of steady, axisymmetric flow problems.

The effects of swirl vanes and a vortex stabilizer on the dynamic flow field in a cyclonic separator
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the isolated and combined effects of two internal components ( swirl vanes and a vortex stabilizer) on the properties of the flow inside a particular type of gas-liquid cyclonic separator.
