Abstract

Analysis of fluid flow in rectangular ducts has been conducted since it has a wide application. The purpose is to provide experimental data for the comparison with computational results. Velocity distributions inside a rectangular duct with $90^{\circ}$ mitered elbow are measured by 5W laser doppler velocity meter for Reynolds numbers of 4,049, 8,104, and 12,186. Flow rates obtained by the integration of measured velocity profile at three cross-sections, which are inlet, middle section after the elbow, and outlet, have errors less than 0.9% among them. Turbulent fluctuation components in two directions are found to have almost similar magnitude each other at a certain location due to the isotropic characteristic of turbulence.
