Characteristics of the T-junction with the equal diameters of all branches for the variable angle of the adjacent branch

Abstract

Abstract. Basic aim of this paper is to bring out the characteristics of the T-junctions. T-junction consists of the one straight pipe and the adjacent branch which can be inclined under various angle Ȗ. These characteristics were done for the T-junctions with equal diameters of all branches and for five different angles of the adjacent branch. There is also included comparison between characteristics obtained by the numerical calculation and by the experiment in this paper.

Characteristics of the pipe junction with 2.4 cross-section area ratio for the case of the flow division

“…The PIV measurement of the fluid flow in the pipe junction has been described in [9] The Comparison of the PIV measurement with numerical solution of fluid flow in [10]. The first new characteristics obtained by measuring and its comparison with CFD calculations were presented at [11]. Many papers have been written about fluid flow in pipe junction as it was mentioned above and reader can get most of them on the internet.…”
