Review article

The paper presents the results of numerical simulations of soaring process of solid particles with different size, weight and quantity carried out in a pilot plant. The calculation results are presented as the velocity fields of the air flow and particles. The spatial distribution of the particles that make up the area of soaring was determined. Based on the analysis of numerical simulation data and experimental studies, the adequacy of the proposed numerical model was proved. The results of numerical experiments can be used to develop engineering methodologies for calculating the vacuum dust cleaning systems.
