Hello everybody,
I don't know if this is the correct forum's section and actually I don't know if I can do this question. In these cases, you can censure this thread, forgive me... Anyway the problem is this (maybe really for dummies…).
I simulated a swirl flow in a conical diffuser.
Along the axes, obviously the velocity decreases and the pressure increase
But along a radius of divergent why does the pressure increase even if the velocity increase? The swirl velocity in fact is proportional to radius...
Is it normal?
May the simulation be uncorrect? I think not but why this behaviour?
