The flow characteristics in a bifurcated duct are investigated experimentally. Physical properties such as mean velocity vectors, mean x-y stress distributions, mean vorticity and total pressure distributions are Obtained for three different Reynolds numbers(578, 620, 688) Using PIV measurements and CFD analysis. Also, three different rates of discharge Q=26.11 l/min, Q=28.11 $\ell$/min, Q=31.17 $\ell$/min) were selected foy experimental conditions. The results of this study would be useful to the engineer in designing the flow systems for heating, ventilation, air conditioning and wastewater purification plants.
