The invention relates to a method and device for designing a spatial streamline inlet of a
rotational flow separator, and the method comprises the steps: determining an inlet
angle alpha, a wrap angle beta, an incident angle gamma and an overturning angle theta of the inlet of the
rotational flow separator according to the performance requirements of the
rotational flow separator; the method comprises the following steps: selecting a
control point at a rotational flow separator, generating a basic shape of a characteristic
bus of the spatial streamline inlet through a spline curve equation, then selecting a type value point to carry out iterative optimization on the
bus shape, and determining a final
curve shape of the spatial streamline inlet through an
entrance angle, a wrap angle, an incident angle and a
flip angle; based on the inlet shape of the rotating flow separator, the section shape of a space streamline inlet is designed through a Bezier curve equation; and according to the final
curve shape and the section shape of the spatial streamline inlet, the spatial streamline inlet structure of the rotating flow separator is determined. Compared with the prior art, pre-separation of particles / liquid drops is achieved through fluid
inertia accelerated rotation, and the separation efficiency of the
hydrocyclone is improved.
