Separation in Mineral Processing
CFD was used to design a separation bin that kept slurry particles of a target size suspended, while others fell and filtered through the bottom.
Particles Solids Breakup in CFD
A coupled transient CFD-DEM analysis modelling the transfer of ore, break-up of particles and design of water-sprays, (used for dust suppression).
Slurry Separation in Cyclones
The separation of particles of different densities & sizes can be captured via CFD. If coupled to DEM, the break-up of particles can also be taken into account.
