This paper reports the outcome of applying two di erent low-Reynolds-number eddy-viscosity models to resolve the complex three-dimensional motion that arises in turbulent ows in ducts with 90◦ bends. For the modelling of turbulence, the Launder and Sharma low-Re k– model and a recently produced variant of the cubic non-linear low-Re k– model have been employed. In this paper, developing turbule...

The flow through pipe bends and elbows occurs in a wide range of applications. While many experimental data are available for such flows the literature, their numerical simulation is less abundant. Here, we present highly-resolved simulations laminar turbulent water 90° bend using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) methods coupled to Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) model turbulence. Direct compa...

The investigation of the turbulence statistics for single-phase turbulent flow around pipe bends have mainly been experimental. Considering cost-effectiveness numerical computational fluid dynamics (CFD) compared to experimental measurement, this work aims study accuracies different CFD models, and establish their functionality limitations. This paper investigates capabilities models spatial di...

This paper presents an experimental investigation of an aerosol problem by adopting two methods. One approach utilizes scanning electron microscope to study the realistic aerosol deposition status in a typical duct bend. Through scanning electron microscope images and on-site observation, the aerosols tend to deposit and accumulate more on the outer bend wall and bend outlet wall. The other app...
