Turbulence intensity along the centre line showing the channel (solid line), duct (dashed line), numerical (×) [4], and experimental data (◯) [11] for the values of (a) 0.61, (b) 0.86, and (c) 0.97 for the experimental study [11]. The inlet 1 simulations are shown in black and inlet 2 simulations are in red.
