Effect of bend curvature on velocity & pressure distribution from straight to a 90° pipe bend - A Numerical Study
Journal Title: REST Journal on Emerging trends in Modelling and Manufacturing - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
The present work deals with the numerical study of single-phase turbulent flow through a 90° pipe bend using k-ε turbulence model. A detailed study has been carried out to investigate the effect of bend curvature on both axial velocity and static pressure distribution at different sections inside of pipe bend as well as adjacent sections of bend inlet (upstream) and outlet (downstream). Contour plots of both normalized axial velocity, static pressure as well as axial velocity profiles at different section are presented in graphical form. The effect of bend curvature on velocity and static pressure is clearly observed and discussed here.
