n-Way Junction
Use the n-Way Junction feature to specify additional pressure losses due to irreversible turbulent friction in an n-way junction that does not fall into the categories Y- or T-junctions. The number of pipe connections to a point can be any number, and the angles between the connection pipes arbitrary.

Friction Specification
The Loss coefficients options allows you to enter a value or expression for the Loss coefficient main branch Kbranch for the energy loss between branch and junction.
The pressure loss is calculated as
For Nonisothermal Pipe Flow and Reacting Pipe Flow interfaces, the pressure drop is calculated as
