The authors also cover the fundamentals hydrodynamics of solid–fluid interaction with application to the fluids and suspensions flow of in circular pipelines and discusses the flow pattern in hydrocyclones from a fluid dynamics point of view. The physical design, the empirical, phenomenological and numerical hydrocyclone models are presented.

The cut size, denoted as d50, indicates the separation performance of the device, with lower values indicating better classification performance for finer particles.
view moreIn this paper rules are given that enable hydrocyclones to be designed for any separation problem in which the size of the particles to be separated is known. Constructional details and items to be observed in designing a cyclone or cyclone battery are discussed. Finally the design method is illustrated by an example.

The simplest approach is to use inviscid isochoric flows. The three-dimensional nature of the flow produces a secondary anisotropic flow near the entry region.
