Establishes the experimental model, analyses the fluid flow with PIV technique and calculates with the SST turbulent model. According to the comparison results, proposes four improving types of junctions, and by simulation with the Fluent software gives the local resistance coefficient curve, providing a rational basis for the pipe network resistance balance calculation.
