Fluid flow in a cylindrical pipe needs to be characterized for various applications. The flow tends to form vortexes or becomes turbulent owing to many factors like inlet angle, inlet velocity, protrusions in the path of flow, etc. This work focuses on studying the characteristic behavior of flow inside a cylindrical pipe with non-laminar flow. It also aims at achieving laminar flow and studies the effect of optimization methods employed like choosing a proper inlet angle, adjusting the inlet flow velocity, aligning the exhaust port. It also aims to discuss boundary layer effects when an obtrusive object placed in the flow and optimization of the flow with varying the object flow facing angle, characteristic length of flow path of the fluid.
