In this research a comparison between kepsilon and
LES model for a deoiling hydrocyclone is conducted. Flow field of
hydrocyclone is obtained by threedimensional simulations with
OpenFOAM code. Potential of prediction for both methods of this
complex swirl flow is discussed. Large eddy simulation method
results have more similarity to experiment and its results are
presented in figures from different hydrocyclone cross sections.
