Since the flow velocity is relatively high, we may turn
on the standard k-e model which is under the Setup>Models>
Viscous item. The water properties can be obtained by using the
data base inside the software by selecting Setup>Materials>
Fluid>Water-liquid(h2o<l>). The analysis the then performed to
yield the flow velocity and pressure as shown in the figures.

The computed solutions help designers to understand
flow behavior in details. The solutions show the effect of the
reservoir, reducing adapter and elbow to the flow field. Since the
ANSYS files of this problem can be downloaded from the book
website, users may want to change the inlet and outlet boundary
conditions to increase understanding of the flow behavior.
