Abstract
Flow distribution characteristics with varying inlet flow-rate in mega collector risers have been investigated, using commercial code FLUENT. The heat transfer in mega collector was not considered in this numerical study. Through the simulation, the following results were found. First, flow distribution characteristics in mega collector risers show the similar tendency in all cases. Secondly, with increased inlet flow-rate, flow distribution uniformity was getting worse.
