Abstract
⺠Energy separation and flow phenomena within a vortex tube were studied numerically. ⺠A 3D computational domain was generated considering the quarter of the geometry. ⺠The flow predictions are based upon k-É, k-Ï and SST k-Ï models and the RSM model. ⺠All the models predict fairly well the general flow features. ⺠Only the RSM model matches correctly the measured cold and hot outlet temperatures.
