I created a new simulation project called 'SimScale - Particle flow through a cyclone separator':
This sample project shows how to simulate particle fluid flow through a cyclone separator.
More of my public projects can be found here.
Test case for Particle-Fluid flow through cyclone separator:
.
The mesh used for this simulation is of moderate fineness generated using “Tetrahedral with prism layers”
The test simulation parameters are summarized below:
- Turbulence model: LES-k model
- Total simulated time 0.6 sec
- Particle injection duration 0.05 - 0.5 sec
- Inlet velocity of 5 m/s ( to speed things up via larger time steps )
- particle size of 0.0001 m and a closed bottom for simplicity.
Some result snapshots are shown below:

nice one 
Nice project, just that the DEM tool for particle tracing is no longer available at this time
