Hi

Just wanted to share some screenshots of a separator model i developed for one of the three phase gas/oil/water separators in one of my facilities. I have taken the midplane as a symmetry plane to cut down on the mesh and calculations. The simulation results shown are for just a single phase. need to add some more details (vanes) on the inlet device as well. This is a 14ft by 150 ft separator. Will try to find a decent image hosting site to show the images here directly and also figure out how to share the model once it is completed.

I am having so much fun with this!

edit: pictures now attached
