Abstract: A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model with an RNG k-epsilon model and second upwind scheme in the Fluent package was used to simulate the flowpattern in a de-duster. The model predictions for the flow field inside the dispersion device were compared with LDA measurements. The primary objectives are to understand such complex flow fields and to guide the development and optimisation of this de-duster.
