Abstract:
Two-D liquid velocity field in a tube with a combination of a stenosis and a bifurcation was measured with refractive index matching technique using Laser Doppler Velocimeter (LDV). The flow ratio of main tube to bypass was 1:4. It is found that the axial velocity profile has two peaks in the XOY plane which is skewed to the main tube wall facing the flow from the bypass, and it manifests itself in the form of "M" in the XOZ plane. A two counter-rotating vortices in the main tube cross section downstream the conjunction region is also detected.
