Numerical Simulation Research on Flow Characteristics of Y-type Filter
As one of the numerous components in the pipeline system,the hydraulic characteristics of filters are crucial.In order to accurately understand the characteristics of the internal flow field and pressure drop of a Y-type filter,the multiphase flow numerical simulation method was used to calculate the internal flow field of a Y-type filter.In the filter,due to the conversion of fluid kinetic energy into potential energy and energy dissipation,the drag force of the fluid on solid particles is reduced.Solid particles smaller than the diameter of the filter hole are mainly accumulated at the lower end of the filter screen and between the filter screen and the inner wall of the branch pipe.The larger the particle diameter,the easier it is to accumulate in a large area,especially when the particle size is greater than 0.5 mm.
