Brief description Design and Optimisation of Spinning Cone Columns. This project will optimise the design and operation of spinning cone columns, a novel industrial distillation technology that has been developed in Australia. Novel and significant outcomes include applying Computational Fluid Dynamics to the design and optimisation of food processing equipment, understanding fundamental modelling issues in simulating strongly swirling flows, and allowing scale-up to be performed reliably from first principles. The result will be a "virtual model" of the equipment, allowing design and optimisation of the equipment to be performed from first principles.
