This project investigates the internal fluid flow behavior within a hydraulic separator designed for a dual-circuit HVAC system. The model represents the internal fluid domain of the separator, including twelve connection nozzles: Primary Circuit: three supply and three return ports Secondary Circuit: three supply and three return ports on the opposite side The main objectives are: To analyze the flow distribution and mixing between primary and secondary circuits. To identify possible recirculation zones, velocity gradients, and temperature mixing patterns inside the separator. To verify that the separator provides effective hydraulic decoupling between the two circuits. Simulation type: Steady-state, incompressible, turbulent flow (k-ε or realizable k-ε model). Fluid: Water at 20 °C (ρ = 998 kg/m³, μ = 1 × 10⁻³ Pa·s). Boundary conditions: Inlets and outlets defined on the twelve nozzles (grouped as primary/secondary supply and return). No-slip walls on the vessel surface. Optional symmetry plane if geometric and flow conditions allow. Expected outcomes: Velocity and pressure field visualization inside the separator. Flow-pathlines showing degree of mixing and short-circuiting. Pressure drop across the separator. Insight into design efficiency and possible optimization (geometry, nozzle placement, baffle inclusion).
