'''Cyclonic separation''' is a method of removing [[particulate]]s from an air, gas or liquid stream, without the use of [[air filter|filter]]s, through [[vortex]] separation. When removing particulate matter from liquid, a [[hydrocyclone]] is used; while from gas, a gas cyclone is used.  [[Rotation]]al effects and [[gravity]] are used to separate mixtures of solids and fluids.  The method can also be used to separate fine droplets of liquid from a gaseous stream.
