Effect of secondary swirl in supersonic gas and plasma flows in self-vacuuming vortex tube
This article presents the results of simulation for a special type of vortex tubes - self-vacuuming vortex tube (SVVT), for which extreme values of temperature separation and vacuum are realized. The main results of this study are the flow structure in the SVVT and energy loss estimations on oblique shock waves, gas friction, instant expansion and organization of vortex bundles in SVVT.
