Description
Summary:In the research paper a computer model of the operation of a vibrational concentrator used to separate the slurry into individual fractions of a grain size by depositing particles of specified characteristics in the field of centrifugal forces is created and verified using the methods of computational hydrodynamics with the Ansys software complex. Using the model will make it possible to: 1) to study the operation of concentrators of various sizes and designs under different operating conditions, with a change in hydraulic characteristics (speed of treated liquid, speed of rotation of the bowl); 2) in the future study the problems of depositing suspended particles of specified characteristics (density, size) in a centrifugal field and determine the concentration of the sediment in the treatment process. The results of the work will make it possible to increase the efficiency of the enrichment of ash and slag waste due to a more thorough understanding of interaction mechanisms between the centrifugal concentrator and the enriched geomaterial.
