Question:
What difference does it make to tilt the grid pattern 45 degrees?
Increased turbulence?
The water still flows exactly like it would in at non-tilted pattern until it leaves the micro-pin area, just tilted 45 degrees.
The first thing that happens when the water enters the WB is that it makes a 90 degree turn when hitting the base (from "above" to "left-and-right"), then flows out between the pins. Every time the flow passes a pin some of it "bends" round the corner and turbulence starts to build up.
OK, no secrets so far.
How does it affect the flow if the grid pattern is tilted?
It looks darned nice, but otherwise?
