Abstracts: In this project we have created our own fluid flow network and calculated pressure drop in network by theoretical calculations, practical readings and simulation by Ansys compared their values. We compared the simulated reading of different simulation methods like k-epsilon and k-omega available in Ansys Fluent model and found out that k-omega SST (shear stress transport) model is efficient. We have compared simulated reading of k-epsilon standard model, k-epsilon RNG and realizable model, k-omega standard model, k-omega SST (shear stress transport) model and found that k-omega SST model is suited for this network. We also wish that our project could be used by any town planner to construct any fluid network by just constructing the geometry model and carrying out simulation to get the desired output practically.
