Pipe flow pattern downstream of local restrictions studied by an optical method
Abstract
An approach to the study of gas flow patterns in circular pipes using 2D methods (PIV, SIV) has been proposed. The approach is based on a special device which is similar to a closed test section of a wind tunnel. It allows measurements of flow parameters downstream of local flow restrictions in circular channels without any optical distortions caused by curved pipe walls. The test results are submitted together with some data on the flow pattern downstream of a gate valve at different channel blockage ratios.
