... losses of common combinations of two, three, and four bends and the addition of internal vanes were investigated with computational fluid dynamic simulations and validated with reference data. Pressure losses of combinations of bends without vanes were higher or lower than the sum of the single pressure...

...Shicong Li; Xiaoyu Wang; Jing He; Mei Lin; Hanbing Ke An experimental study is carried out to investigate the flow characteristics of the trailing edge of the horizontal vanes mounted at the branch entrance of a T-junction duct by means of particle image velocimetry (PIV). The measured region...
