This work deals with the computational setup, simulation and analysis of turbulent flow through developing bent pipes. Specifically the effect of swirl-switching for the Dean vortices is analysed. A synthetic turbulent inflow condition is implemented and validated. Simulations are carried out with full resolution of the turbulent spatial and temporal scales. The flow is analysed by means of a two- and three-dimensional proper orthogonal ecomposition method (POD) to identify energetically dominant, independent coherent structures in the flow. For the first time, results show the spatially travelling character of the swirl-switching phenomenon. Moreover, additional results are found to agree with existing experimental research and are related with the newly found ones. Thereby, weaknesses of the previous approaches are identified. The current results may provide a route towards low-order modelling of the flow in bent pipes. === Detta arbete behandlar beräkningssimulering och analys av turbulent flöde genom böjda rör.
