The Establishment of Distribution Model of Inner Surface Pressure of Elbow Pipe Based on FLUENT

Article Preview

Abstract:

The processes of the fuild through the elbow pipe under different conditions are simulated by the FEM software named FLUENT. Then, the effects of varied parameters on the distribution of pressure on inner suface of elbow pipe are studied with dimensionless analysis method. Finally, a distribution model of pressure at the the minimum life section where the axial angle α is 45°, degree of curvature k=R/d, circle angle β, fluid density ρ, fluid outlet pressure P0 and fluid velocity v is built and verified by fitting the simulation data. The research conclusion lays the groundwork for strength check and structural design of the elbow pipe
