This study aims to shed light on the Falcon concentrator’s ability to separate particles within size and density ranges lower than usual, say 5–60 μm and 1.2–3.0 s.g. respectively. As differential particle settling is expected to be the prevailing separation mechanism under such conditions, this study presents the workings of a predictive Falcon separation model that embeds phenomenological fluid and particle flow simulation inside the Falcon’s flowing film. Adding to the novelty of modelling the Falcon concentrator using a fluid mechanics approach, one point of practical significance within this work is the derivation of the Falcon’s partition function from fluid flow simulation results.
