Numerical Simulation of the Effect of Section Size on Averaging Pitot Tube

Abstract:

Averaging pitot tube has been applied in practice more often in these years. This paper set up the two-dimensional model of the bullet-shaped averaging pitot tube, numerical simulation based on CFD was used to investigate the changes of flow coefficient along with the Reynolds number. The geometric size of the section was changed to investigate how it influences the flow coefficient and differential pressure. To guarantee the accuracy of the simulation, the grid and the simulation model were investigated too.
