摘要: In this investigation the highly-complex, compressible, swirling, and turbulent flow within a Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube has been captured in three dimensional domain using state-of-the-art ANSYS CFX™ Computational Fluid Dynamic software package. These results have also successfully compared to configurations for which reliable experimental exist. Additionally mesh convergence study focusing on cold temperature output of conducted.
