Flow Field Analysis and Numerical Simulation for Pipe with Tee on Fluid-Structure Coupling

Abstract:

Y-shaped tee is modeled by three-dimensional graphics software and its flow field is analyzed and numerical simulated by CFD software. The mechanical stability of Y-shaped tee in the work process is analyzed by fluid-structure coupling. The results show that the pressure of water is gradually decreased and the velocity of water is gradually increased as the main flow is near Y-shaped tee; the branch of pipeline exits the largest failure risk by the coulomb failure expression. Simulation results are consistent to the practice, which provides important theoretical basis for improving and optimization of Y-shaped tee.
