RANS-Based Modelling of Turbulent Flow in Submarine Pipe Bends: Effect of Computational Mesh and Turbulence Modelling

Pipe bend is a critical integral component, widely used in slurry pipeline systems involving various engineering applications, including natural gas hydrate production. The aim of this study is to assess the capability of RANS-based CFD models to capture the main features of the turbulent single-pha...
