Bending Pipe

Bending Pipe

This model studies the fluid flow through a bending pipe in 3D for the Reynolds number 300 000.

Because of the high Reynolds number, the k-epsilon turbulence model is used. Calculations with and without corner smoothing are performed.

The results are compared with experimental data.
