Optimization of a cyclone using MFIX and Nodeworks
Abstract
Video depicting the optimization process of a cyclone on NETL's chemical looping reactor (CLR) using MFIX and Nodeworks. MFIX is used to model the cyclone using PIC. Nodeworks is then used to generate proposed geometry changes using a Latin hypercube. Each design is simulated, with an objective value being computed based on the cyclone efficiency and pressure drop. A Gaussian Process surrogate model is then constructed from the objective values. This surrogate model is then used by a differential evolution optimization algorithm to identify the optimal cyclone design. Details published here: Weber, J., Fullmer, W., Gel, A., and Musser, J.
