Cyclone separators are widely used in gas‐particle separation in the fields of both industrial application and aerosol sampling. For a clear description of the the mechanisms of gas‐particle separation and pressure drop, it is essential to evaluate the flow pattern in the cyclone separator. The gas flow patterns in two types of cyclone separators with conventional and symmetrical inlet geometries are analyzed and compared.
