T-junction flow simulation

Using computational and analytical methods to examine flow through a pipe junction.

SimScale CFD Fluid mechanics

The analysis

I modeled a T-junction in SimScale and examined velocity and pressure behavior. I compared the simulation outputs with theoretical calculations to give the numerical results an independent reference.

Outcome

Completed a flow study connecting simulation setup, result visualization, and analytical comparison. The project developed my experience interpreting CFD results alongside theory.
