Simulation and Experimental Research on the Energy Loss of Confluence Pipelines
Compared with T- and Y-shaped confluence pipelines, arc confluence pipelines have a smaller energy loss coefficient. In the study presented herein, numerical simulation analyses of the flow fields of T-shaped, Y-shaped, bifurcated, and arc confluence pipelines were carried out. An experimental syste...

| description | Compared with T- and Y-shaped confluence pipelines, arc confluence pipelines have a smaller energy loss coefficient. In the study presented herein, numerical simulation analyses of the flow fields of T-shaped, Y-shaped, bifurcated, and arc confluence pipelines were carried out. An experimental system was designed to study the energy loss coefficient of the arc confluence pipeline by using five different pipe diameters and nine different radii with water as the working fluid and analyze the influence of pipe diameter, radius, and Reynolds number on the energy loss of the arc confluence pipeline. As the radius of the arc confluence pipeline increases, the energy loss coefficient of confluence first decreases and then increases, and the minimum energy loss corresponds to a radius of 65 mm; with an increase in Reynolds number, the energy loss coefficient of confluence first decreases gradually and tends to a certain value. With an increase in diameter, the energy loss coefficient of confluence decreases gradually. |
