A numerical simulation of swirling flows in a cyclone separator has been performed using a large eddy simulation (LES) based on a Smagorinsky model. The validity of the simulation and the nature of complex flow characteristics are discussed in the context of experimental results. In this work, particle motion is described using a one-way Lagragian method. Particle separation performance is assessed from particle tracking results. A result of this study investigation demonstrates that the LES has been sufficiently capable of predicting the complex swirling flows in a cyclone separator.
