Influence of the geometry on the two- and three-dimensional dynamics of the flow in a 180 degree sharp bend

In this thesis, I numerically simulate the flow past a 180 degree sharp bend. The main objective of this research is to characterize the influences of the bend geometry on the flow regimes when Reynolds number (Re) is varied. Reynolds number and the opening ratio () (the definition of is defined in...
