Flow of Water in Pipes Equations and Calculator The volume of water that flows through a pipe depends on the head (pressure) but also on the diameter of the pipe, the character of the interior surface, and the number and shape of the bends. The head may be either the distance between t...
In this paper we consider the steady flow of a viscous fluid through a rectilinear pipe bounded by four sinusoidally varying with opposite plates differing in phase by and separated by a mean distance. For the non-varying rectilinear pipe with rectangular cross section, the classical velocity ...
Simulation of flow through the pipe in open Foam: The objective of the challenge is to perform a simulation of flow through the pipe using the Open Foam tool. Here we have taken a wedge-shaped body to perform the simulation. A proper code has to be written in the block-Dict file to ...
-Stock equations into Cartesian coordinates by using finite volume method with both simple algorithm and upwind schemes.The simulations carried out for an inlet pipe Reynolds numbers of 36000, for flow rate ratios from 0% to 100% (ratio between the flow rates in the branch and outlet pipe). ...
kg/m⋅s) flows through a pipe with inner diameter D = 4.00 cm. An orifice meter with d = 3.00 cm is installed to measure the volume flow rate. The discharge coefficient matches the typical equation provided above, . 2.1 8.0 2.5 0.75 ...

Choked flow calculator computes the mass flow rate through a pipe based on tank pressure and temperature, pipe length and diameter, minor losses, discharge pressure, and gas properties. Temperatures, pressures, densities, velocities, and Mach numbers are computed at all transition points (in the ta...
Reynolds number determines the nature of the flow. SAH is a heat exchanger in which heat transfer occurs through forced convection. Hence Re plays an important role in deciding its performance. But Re never works alone; instead, its effect changes with variation in other parameters like e/D, ...
Week 11 - Simulation of Flow through a pipe in OpenFoam Objective : In this challenge, we will simulate an axi-symmetric flow through a cylinderical pipe.Simulating flow through a pipe will be computationally costly ,so as the flow through a pipe is axi-symmetric in nature we will split ...
A typical example is a pump on/off event or valve malfunction, which may potentially induce significant transients resulting in strong pressure waves travelling through a pipe network, potentially causing major damages to a civil water system (Colombo et al., 2009; Ghidaoui et al., 2005). A ...
