Abstract Taking the largerotation and largeflow fire water cannon barrel as the research object, the computational fluid dynamics software FLUENT was used to numerically calculate the threedimensional steady flow in the fire water cannon barrel with circular crosssection and elliptical crosssection under three flow conditions. By analyzing the hydraulic loss of the fluid in the barrel of different crosssections and the flow pattern of the outlet, the influence rule of the crosssection change on the internal flow of the fire water cannon barrel was obtained. The results show that under the three flow conditions, the hydraulic force of the round crosssection barrel and the noncircular crosssection barrel is hydraulic. The loss difference is small, and the variation range is within 2.7%; the turbulent kinetic energy of the outlet increases with the increase of the elliptical eccentricity of the barrel section, and gradually deviates from the center axis of the pipe; at the exit of the round barrel and noncircular barrel, the positive and negative vortices offset the reduction of vortex flux, the streamline density of the outlet of the round crosssection barrel and the outlet of the vertical ellipse crosssection barrel is more uniform than that of the horizontal ellipse crosssection barrel, and the vertical ellipse crosssection barrel with the same eccentricity is 21% lower than the average exit velocity deviation of the transverse elliptical barrel.
