Gravity is pre-selected and grayed out if it was set up in the General Settings of the Flow project. Settings allow designation of wall accretion and/or erosion to help understand where they might accumulate on or erode the surfaces they contact. The study can work with solid or liquid particles selected from the pre-defined or user-defined materials listed in the Engineering Database. It is a post-processing feature that allows tracking of particles in a flow field to determine where they go under the influence of the fluid movement. SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation’s Particle Study is an invaluable tool in the design of particle separation devices. Particles settle in the lower conical section and enter the collector under the influence of gravity. Clean air collects in a vortex near the center of the vessel then exits via the center outlet at the top of the separator. In principle, as the flow is introduced, the inertia of the entrained particles makes them collect near the separator walls. The top view shows that the inlet introduces the flow in a direction that is tangent to the separator wall. One such device that uses inertial and gravitational forces as the separation mechanism is shown in simplified form below.

Particle separators are important devices used to clean industrial process air.
