Abstract

To reveal the variation of the inner flow field on a single function shower, numerical simulation was conducted for single-phase flow using water as the working medium. The standard k-ε turbulence model is employed to simulate inner flow characteristics. To improve the uniformity of outlet flow, according to the simulation results of the old shower, the mold structural have been modified. The results show that, the outlet shape and different size will affect the internal flow field. According to the old shower analysis of the flow, speed of the outlet fluctuations are more obvious, while the improved shower flow rate of the outlet distribution is more uniform and old shower exists of vortex in the two shares of water region, but improved shower vortex is smaller and the distribution of flow is also better than the former.
