EXPERIMENTAL AND NUMERICAL STUDY OF THE SWIRLING FLOW IN CONICAL DIFFUSERS

The aim of the present work is to analyse experimental and numerically the swirling turbulent flow in conical diffusers. The experimental part is made with Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), where two geometries 5 and 10° semi-angles are analysed. We obtain information of the mean flow, in the axial...
