Measurement and Calculation of Developing Turbulent Flow in a U-Bend and Downstream Tangent of Square Cross-Section.

Abstract

A review is provided of the second year of research pertaining to the experimental measurement and numerical prediction of curved duct flows. Experimental measurements obtained using a laser-Doppler velocimeter, recent turbulence model developments and numerical calculations are presented and discussed. The current state of the research program is revised together with a work plan for year three of research. (Author)
