Abstract

A T-shape tube is an important structure in chemical engineering and other fields. This article utilizes the CFD method on python with a simplified Navier-Stokes equation to stimulate the converging process of different fluids and studies the influence of inflow speed, viscosity, density, diffusion coefficient, the diameter of the tube and the length of the tube on the transmission characteristics like pressure and flow field. The results indicate that the ratio of the velocity of the main tube to that of the branch, the diameter of tube AC and tube B is inversely related with mixing efficiency and that the increase of pipe length at outlet tube and the diffusion coefficient of fluid is positive to the well-distributed concentration of outflow. However, the density and viscosity of inflow seem to have little impact on the mixing process.
