The flow field, pressure drop, and separation efficiency of an industrial cyclone separator were computationally investigated using the Reynolds stress model simulations. The effects of the flapper valve on the static pressure drop, cut size, and slope of the grade efficiency curve were revealed. For that, the cyclone was simulated in three operation regimes, when the flapper valve is open, closed,...
