Abstract

Experimental and theoretical studies were undertaken to investigate the particulatefree secondary flow interaction in the wire-type electrostatic precipitator. The secondary flow generated by the corona discharge is not negligible, and strong flow interactions take place owing to the induced circulatory cells. The calculated numerical results demonstrate close agreement with experiment.
