Abstract :
The 3-D turbulent flow in 90° bend pipe of circular section of hydroelectric power station diversion road was simulated numerically by realizable k-e turbulence model with FLUENT. According to the analysis on internal flow field and distribution of elbow flow-field, we drew the best measuring section and provided a theoretical basis for measurement of bend flow.
