Abstract |
|
Elbow are the pipe fittings of engineering as well as domestic application used in wide range of size. This report deals with the computational fluid dynamics analysis of flow through elbow. This involves with 2D analysis of flow through pipe fittings. CFD analysis are performed in two different diameters elbow. The pressure drops at two different upstream & downstream locations are investigated using computational methods. The four different velocities like 0.75, 1.0,1.5 and 3m/sec and pipes of diameter 1â€, 1/2†are used in this study. CFD analysis is performed using K-ε model & FLUENT software is used for analysis purpose. And for pipe modeling GAMBIT 2.01 software is used. This study will help to predict flow losses through pipe fittings and help to design pipe lines. And also this study will helps to optimize the design of elbow. |
