Convective Transport in Flow around 180 deg Bend.

Abstract

The objectives of the research program are to assess how well current numerical methods and turbulence can combine to predict the detailed flow and heat transfer behaviour in flow around a 180 degree bend, a geometry of great importance in heat exchanger design and in various other cooling-passage geometries. To allow this assessment detailed flow and thermal experimental data are required - and these were not available. The total research program therefore has two roughly equal parts: obtaining the experimental data and developing and applying the three-dimensional numerical calculation scheme.
