Extract

Pressure recovery measurements in a straight pipe with crossflow-generated entry velocity distributions suggested substantial effects of inflow distortion on the pressure recovery downstream of a sudden enlargement in area. This note reports results of actual measurements in the same pipe equipped with entry sections of various reduced diameters providing sudden area enlargement ratios of 1.33, 1.71, 2.04, and 3.52. The results have practical bearing on the performance of settling pipes located at diffuser exits where, in general, velocity distributions are significantly non-uniform. In addition, the results provide information on the momentum content of the crossflow-generated velocity distribution.
