This research provides the application of the computer simulation as the powerful tool in the designing
and optimisation of non-traditional separators and precipitators which are used in industrial processes. The
complexity of the fluid behaviour, the behaviour of particles and the phase separation in non-standard geometries
often prove to be a challenge to conventional design methods. It is the simulation approach that allows correct
visualisation and analysis of the flow pattern, the trajectories of particles and performance in separation efficiency
through highly detailed mathematical models, including computational models such as the Discrete Phase Modelling
(DPM) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model. This allows rapid design optimization, prototyping and
prediction of performance without large amounts of physical testing. In case studies, the simulations could assist in
the innovation and cost-effective development through detection of design issues, optimisation of parameters, and to
a significant increase in the usefulness and efficiency of unusual separation systems.
