A Numerical Model for Oil/Water Separation from a Solid Particle

A computational fluid dynamics model has been developed to study an oil-coated particle immersed in a uniform aqueous flow, to determine the conditions that favour oil separation. The governing flow equations are discretized using a finite volume approach, and the oil/water interface is captured usi...
