Present paper makes an effort to study the flow separation and velocity distribution for incompressible turbulent flow through 90° pipe bend due to the effect of guide vane installed in the bend portion. It has been observed here how the normalized velocity distribution profile changes if the guide vane is provided. k-ɛ turbulence model has been adopted for simulation purpose. After validating with existing experimental results, a detailed study has been performed for a particular Reynolds number and four different positions of guide vane. The value of Curvature ratio (Rc/D) has been considered as 1 for present study. The results obtained from the present study have been presented in terms of graphical form. A flow separation region was found at bend outlet for flow through 90° pipe bend without guide vane. This secondary flow separation region was absent for the cases which deals with the flow through 90° pipe bend with guide vane. Velocity distribution at seven different downstream positions have been presented in graphical form. Position to get a fully developed velocity distribution profile for each cases has been estimated on the basis of presented results.
