Optimize Design of Flow Divider and Verification of the PBF 3D Printing Process

This study was to enhance the efficiency of fluid distribution within the flow divider. the design optimization of a flow divider was performed using COMSOL Multiphysics CFD. Subsequently, the optimally designed flow divider was fabricated via a 3D printing process, following measurements of geometric precision, tensile strength, and surface roughness. Finally, the performance was evaluated by comparing the experimental results from the CFD simulations with those obtained from the 3D-printed flow divider.
