Simulation, Start With Known Systems

[ForrestErickson]

Summary

For simulation of the movement of dusty air and dust extraction start with some known solutions.

Setup Details

Simulate dusty air with a variety of sizes of entrained particles like saw dust would have.

3D design (or fine designs) of cyclone dust separators such as:

The Simulation

Now put dusty air through the cyclone dust separator.

Results Analysis

Does the simulated system separate larger particles from smaller as real world saw dust is separated?
