Vortex Grit Separator | FLOW-3D HYDRO @flow3d

Uploaded June 2025 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago

In this FLOW-3D HYDRO simulation of a vortex grit separator, particles are introduced at the inlet and are colored by velocity. We can see that most particles are separated by the centrifugal action and fall to the bottom, as the fluid is passing through the baffle and existing at the top outlet. Activating the particle physics model allows users to predict the behavior of particles of varying sizes and densities, enabling them to optimize their designs for maximum particle removal.

$Frac Tank Hydraulics | FLOW-3D HYDRO Hydraulic mixing is critical when using frac tanks in the oil and gas industry as a mobile water storage solution. Improved hydraulic mixing can lead to a more efficient treatment system. To model the hydraulic characteristics, the simulation was set up with a scalar model to visualize the mixing. The scalar model along with streamline plots and other advanced post-processing tools allows for easier analysis of an open-top tank with such a configuration.
