Optimal design of curved and bifurcated flow pipes

The present study focuses on flows in three-dimensional curved and bifurcated pipes. Computational fluid dynamics is used to investigate fluid flow through these pipes. The occurrence of recirculation due to curvature ratio, bend angle, diameter, length, and bifurcation level is studied and the flow...
