Flow and temperature fluctuation mechanism in a downward branch pipe with a closed end (4th. report, Influence of inner diameter on penetration depth and fluctuation characteristics)

Hot water in a main pipe flows into a branch pipe and forms a thermally stratified layer with cold water at a bent section. Fluctuation of the thermally stratified layer may initiates thermal fatigue crack in the branch pipe. Penetration depth of the main flow and the fluctuation characteristics int...
