Porous medium square pipelines with pellet packed bed and cylindrical packed bed are employed to experimentally study the flow characteristics of water. Differences of flow characteristics between the pellet packed bed and cylindrical packed bed, as well as the circular pipe and the square pipe, are discussed by measuring the pipeline pressure drop under different flow rate, and the relationship between the pipe resistance coefficient and flow is analyzed. The results show that the pressure drop per unit length in the square pipe increases with the increase of flow rate and increases with the decrease of pellet diameter. The structure of large diameter pellet packed bed is more advantageous to form a relatively stable flow.
