Determining of minor losses coefficient is very complicated problem. Analytical methods are often very difficult and experimental methods are very expensive and time-consuming. Consequently, the use of numerical methods seems to be a good solution, but there are no publications describing this issue. Therefore, the paper is describing the numerical method of determining the minor loss coefficient ξ on the example of elbows with circular cross-section.
