Abstract: Present paper is aimed towards reporting CFD study carried out on counter—flow vortex tube using different gases at various values of cold mass fraction and using different turbulence models. In CFD analysis of counter flow vortex tube, various working gases have been seldom used and their energy separation effect studied relative to cold mass fraction. Also, computational efforts to compare results of one equation Spalart Allmaras model used for analysis of counter—flow vortex tube with other two equation turbulence models, that is, Standard k-ε and Standard k-ω model as well as RSM (Reynolds Stress Model) have been seldom reported.
