Investigation of Flow Changes in Y-Duct Configuration with Varying Inlet Diameters using Computational Fluid Dynamics
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims to investigate the influence of varying inlet diameters on flow characteristics within a Y-duct configuration using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. The objective is to analyse how changes in inlet diameter affect flow patterns, velocity distribution, pressure distribution and the potential for thrust vectoring within the duct for enhancing thrust vectoring capabilities. CFD simulations are conducted using ANSYS Fluent, wherein the diameter of one inlet is systematically altered while other parameters are kept constant. Rigorous experimentation with different inlet diameters is performed to capture a comprehensive spectrum of flow behaviour. Through detailed analysis of CFD results, the study aims to provide insights into the impact of inlet diameter variations on flow phenomena within the Y-duct.
