Flow Through Bends

Flow Through Bends is a fluid dynamic phenomenon characterized by the alteration of velocity and pressure distributions in a continuous stream as it navigates curved geometries, resulting in secondary flows, flow separation, and increased turbulence due to centrifugal forces acting on the fluid elements.
