Effects of Turbulent Promoter on Flows in T-junction Piping Systems

Abstract

Visualization by the dye injection method and velocity measurements are carried out in a T-junction piping system with turbulent promoter under the isothermal condition, and the behavior of main and branch pipe flow is examined experimentally. As a result, it is clarified that secondary streams in pipe sections becomes stronger and diffusion of momentum is promoted in case with turbulent promoter.
