Abstract

The experimental study of the flow structure behind the sudden expansion of the flat channel is performed. The cross section of the channel is 20×200 mm and the step height is 12 mm. Visualization of the flow structure and measurements by means of particle image velocimetry (PIV) is performed using high power green laser sheet and CCD camera. Liquid velocity profiles are measured by means of laser Doppler anemometry (LDA). Automatic position system is used. The structure of liquid flow distribution evolution behind the sudden channel expansion is shown. The data about pressure drop is presented for different liquid flow rates.
