✦ Synopsis

As in the laminar case (see previous paper), the axi-symmetric turbulent boundary layers have been studied inside a hydrocyclone having overflow diameter greater than that of underflow. This type of hydroeyclone is generally used in practical applications. Calculating total flux through the boundary layers, formed on the conical surface and under the roof of the hydrocyclone, a mathematical model of the flow field has been obtained which agrees very well with previous experimental findings.
