[0002] The plastic three-way pipe fitting widely used in the current water distribution pipeline system generally adopts the traditional T-shaped structure design, the structure is convenient for injection molding, but there is obvious fluid mechanics defect. When water flows through the three-way, the straight flow in the main pipeline generates 90° turning at the T-shaped branch, leading to the formation of strong boundary layer separation in the inside area of the projection line of the inner wall of the branch mouth, and further causing local turbulent effect. This unstable flow state increases the head loss along the way by 30%-50%, causing the system energy consumption to rise. At the same time, the pressure pulsation caused by the sudden change of fluid momentum can reach 1.5-2 times of the working pressure, leading to mechanical vibration of the pipeline system, and the effective value of the measured vibration acceleration exceeds 0.8g, forming periodic impact on the middle part of the three-way cross pipe. In long-term operation, this water hammer effect makes the internal pressure peak of the three-way exceed the design pressure by 120%, accelerating the material fatigue aging, and the actual service life is only 40%-60% of the theoretical value.
