Abstract: Turbulent flow field of the mineral slurry in a¡¡180¡ã¡¡curved
pipe is analyzed using the steady, three-dimensional,incompressible Navier-Stokes
equations. The mixing length turbulent model is adopted. Numerical solution is obtained by
using the finite element method while the differential equations are disretized. The
results agree well with the experiment.
