Transport Phenomena at Intersections at Low Reynolds Numbers

Abstract
The mixing behavior at a pipe cross junction is investigated through a series of experiments using a sodium chloride tracer. A dimensionless concentration term is used to represent mixing. This term is investigated over a range of Reynolds number, ranging from laminar to transient to turbulent regimes, with pipe flows kept equal. Varying inflows are also examined in the laminar and transitional flow regimes, and preliminary results are reported. Experimental data indicate that mixing patterns are generally governed primarily by the ratio of the inflows (and likely outflows) as opposed to flow regimes.
