Gas-solid separators have played an important role for process or emission control of many facilities including fluidized bed reactors. The flow field and collection efficiency were investigated for a Stairmand-type cyclone separator by Reynolds stress transport model (RSTM) and large eddy simulation (LES) in this work. RSTM and LES both showed good agreement with measured mean tangential velocity, whereas LES reproduced unsteady flow in the core with better agreement of the mean axial velocity profile. The particle dispersion model is required to obtain an accurate overall collection efficiency in both RSTM and LES. Anisotropy in velocity fluctuation should be taken into account, whereas its effect is more significant in RSTM than in LES. The continuous random walk (CRW) model gave more accurate results than the discrete random walk (DRW) model in RSTM, whereas there was no significant difference in LES resolving most large scale eddies. LES made better prediction of the overall particle collection efficiency than RSTM, although further investigation may be required for deviation in the maximum inlet flow case of the cyclone separator.
