Numerical investigation of Dean vortex evolution in turbulent flow through 90° pipe bends

The current study focuses on numerically simulating turbulent flow in a 90° pipe bend using the k-ε turbulence model. Following validation of present numerical approach against prior experimental findings, extensive research was conducted to elucidate the development of Dean vortices and the seconda...
