In this study, in order to improve the mixing uniformity of the disinfectant in water after the secondary chlorination of the pipe network, a new type of mixing pipe fitting with high efficiency and low loss was developed. Through the establishment of physical model, the CFD numerical simulation optimization was carried out using the mixture multiphase flow model and the Realizable k-ε turbulence model. The mixing mechanism of this device was analyzed, and the mixing effect and the pressure loss under the different parameters of the guide vanes were estimated. The results show that, the streamline of the multiphase flow could be changed after flowing through the pipe fitting, and the fluid changes from one-dimensional motion to three-dimensional motion. The mixing effect was promoted by the vortex formed in the cross-section of the pipeline. By analyzing the COV of each cross-section of the pipe, the optimum number of guide vanes for the mixing effect was 3, and its pressure loss was about 157Pa.The mixing effect was enhanced rapidly with the increasing of wrap angle in the range from 20°~30°. When the angle was more than 30°, the mixing effect tended to be stable. When the guide vane height was 0.2 ~ 0.35 times the diameter, the higher the height of guide vanes, the better the mixing effect, moreover, the pressure loss also increased.
