This can be achieved by employing turning diffusers in the fluid flow systems. The flow through a turning diffuser is complex, apparently due to the expansion and inflexion introduced along the direction of flow. The flow characteristics of 3-D turning diffuser by means of varying inflow Reynolds number are presently investigated. The flow characteristics within the outlet cross-section and longitudinal section were examined respectively by the 3-D stereoscopic PIV and 2-D PIV. The flow uniformity is affected with the increase of inflow Reynolds number due to the dispersion of the core flow throughout the outlet cross-section. It becomes even worse with the presence of secondary flow, 22 to 27 of the mean outlet velocity. The flow separation takes place within the inner wall region at the point very close to the outlet edge and the secondary flow vortex occurs dominantly within half part of the outlet cross-section. © 2017 Author(s). date: 2017 publisher: American Institute of Physics Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85020236842&doi=10.1063%2f1.4981162&partnerID=40&md5=cffd51ce4fc6564fe0270c0971d91962 id_number: 10.1063/1.4981162 full_text_status: none publication: AIP Conference Proceedings volume: 1831 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9780735414990 issn: 0094243X citation: Nordin, N. and Karim, Z.A.A. and Othman, S. and Raghavan, V.R. and Batcha, M.F.M. and Hariri, A. and Basharie, S.M.
