DISPLAY
The flow is isothermal and the example duct is a cylindrical
channel curved curved through 180 deg. The point of this case
is to display the good behaviour of PHOENICS with fully 3D
flows.
Since the 3D phenomena take place downstream of the bend, a
length of 8 diameters is considered. The upstream length is
only 2 diameters since the slight influence of the curved duct
in the inlet region.

DISPLAY
It is possible to redefine the number of cells in each direction.
The 2D geometry can be changed in the following aspects:
- the Radius Rc.
- the angle Angu of the curvature.
- the lengths of the upstream and downstream regions.
