Decided on the single bend. Use h = 1.5w and compare with h = 1w
w = baffle spacing

For h = 1.5:
Get Pressure Pressure coefficient loss of 3 across the bend
Lots of stagnant flow at the bottom corner
Yplus at wall less than 5

For For h = 1;
Pressure coefficient loss of 3.21 across the bend
Yplus less than 5

Create a flexible mesh that uses parametrization to easily change geometry dimensions

Analyze the effect of the Reynolds Number on the results

Analyze the sensitivity of the model to convergence residuals (done)

Change the velocity inlet to 0.5 m/s to check the Reynold's number effect. We see that the pressure difference is about the same delCp = 3.04;
