Investigating thermal mixing and reverse flow characteristics in a T-junction using CFD methodology in Abaqus

T-junctions are commonly used in piping systems and multi-channel networks in various industries, including petrochemical plants, electronic cooling applications, molecular biological processes, power plants, etc. It is crucial to comprehensively understand the thermal–hydraulic characteristics in a T-junction for piping design. Many simulations using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with different turbulence models have been con-ducted to investigate the mixing characteristics of T-junctions.studied temperature fluctuations caused by thermal mixing in T-junctions using the large eddy simulation (LES) turbulence model. The results showed that the calculated maximum temperatures were somewhat higher than the measure-ments.In this simulation Abaqus CFD has been implied.You can see a simple figure of the schematic at below

Water material with thermal properties is used and flow thermal step with three boundary conditions and set up predefined field has been implanted.Du ring the simulation by mixing two flow we can see a average temperature and some reverse flow around the hot flow branch. You can see some figures of the results at below
