Abstract

A method for controlling the flow of a first fluid stream within a bulk rotating fluid stream comprises providing a bulk fluid stream and imparting a rotational flow pattern to the bulk fluid to induce a first fluid fraction to form in the innermost region of the flow pattern causing the first fluid fraction to flow as the first fluid stream over the convex surface of a flow guide 122 to induce a spiral coanda effect, thereby allowing the direction and orientation of the flow of the first fluid stream to be controlled. The method is preferably for separating a multiphase fluid stream, the fluid stream including a relatively high density component and a relatively low density component, the method comprising introducing the multiphase fluid into a separation zone, imparting a rotational movement into the fluid, whereby the low density fraction is caused to collect in the radially central region of the separation zone and a high density faction is caused to collect in the radially outer region of the separation zone. A spiral coanda flow is induced into a fluid fraction to direct it towards a fluid outlet 120, 132 disposed in the separation zone.
