Velocities and pressure profiles as long as the contraction coefficient are measured for various flow rates (from 30 m3/h to 50 m3/h) and used to validate numerical simulations. In this paper, 2D and 3D simulations are conducted with the open-source software OpenFOAM. Reynolds stresses model is used to model the turbulence and volume of fluids method to track the interface.
