These separators have considerable advantages over filters, scrubbers or precipitators in term of compact design, lower pressure drop and higher capacity. A gas liquid centrifugal separator is a device that utilizes centrifugal forces and low pressure caused by rotational motion to separate liquid from gas by density differences. Efficient and reliable separation is required for the optimum operation. These separators are often operated at less than peak efficiency due to the entrainment of separated liquid through an outlet pipe which is closely associated with the very complicated flow phenomena involved. Design parameters such as length of the separation space, vane exit angle, inlet to outlet diameter ratio, models for separation efficiency and pressure drop as a function of physical dimensions are not available in literature.

文摘文章的目的是对格子玻尔兹曼方法进行系统的介绍,格子玻尔兹曼方法(Lattice BoltzmannMethod)的出现直接来源于20世纪60年代的元胞自动机(Cellular Automata)思想,而这一方法用于解决流动现象时,又可以追溯到19世纪的分子运动论,求解的是Boltzmann提出的玻尔兹曼输运方程,因此将这一方法称为格子玻尔兹曼方法,之前也被称为格子气自动机(Lattice Gas Automa-ton)。该方法多用于研究复杂现象,如材料晶体凝聚时的生长过程、城市土地利用的演化等方面。在20世纪70年代由Hardy、Pomeau和Pazzis建立了第一个用于研究流体运动的格子气自动机,此后,这一方法被广泛用来模拟各种流动问题,诸如二相流、孔隙介质中的渗流等,并根据这一方法开发了相应的商业软件PowerFlow。同时,格子玻尔兹曼方法由于其在微观水平描述运动的特点,成为研究湍流的一个很好的数值计算工具,特别是用其进行直接数值模拟(DNS)计算,成为继传统的差分法、有限体积法和谱方法之后的又一有力的手段。而作为大气运动的一个主要现象的大气湍流,比普通湍流更加复杂,在这里着重介绍了大气湍流的特点和应用格子玻尔兹曼方法模拟湍流的发展过程。
