Abstract
Centrifugal separation of low-concentration suspension in a biconical rotor of a centrifuge was modeled numerically. A system of equations describing the motion of solid particles in a fluid flow was constructed and solved. The effect of geometric parameters of the centrifuge rotor on the separation efficiency was demonstrated.
