Abstract

A numerical simulation of water flow through a Venturi tube was made with the DualSPHysics code, which uses the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method. The dimensions of the simulated system are equal to the laboratory experimental setup. The experimental data were measured in the laboratory using a rotameter and a mercury manometer. The experimental and numerical results show a similar behavior. Discharge coefficient values are obtained from the numerical results.
