Investigation of the parameters of a curved channel of the confuser type

  • 1 National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine, Kyiv, Ukraine

Abstract

Parametric optimization of a curved channel was made with changing the geometric shape under pre-set conditions when liquid or gas flows through it. Mathematical modelling of hydrodynamic processes was performed in curved channels of the confuser type. As a result of numerical modelling of the hydrodynamic processes, using the ANSYS Fluent CAD software product, the distributions of velocities and pressures in the confuser channel were obtained. The optimal curved channel profile was selected. based on the conditions of minimal pressure losses in the channel. The obtained results may be used in the design of the heat exchange and aerodynamic equipment.
