Study of the Flow Characteristic in Parallel Pipeline Model

Abstract:

A single-phase flow CFD model is presented for predicting the pressure and flow distribution in parallel connected manifolds. The validation of the proposed CFD model is tested by its application to simulate flow behavior in intake and exhaust conduits. The simulated results are compared with the experimental data by Luo et al. and satisfactory agreements are found between the simulations and experiment. Using the proposed CFD model, the influences of flow rate, inner diameter ratio ψ and ψ0 on the flow distribution were investigated. From the simulated results, it can be found that non-uniform flow distribution is dependent on the flow rate in conduits. It is also found that inner diameter ratio play an important role on flow distribution. Proper flow rate and inner diameter ratio chosen will improve the uniformity of flow distribution.
