What are the three terms coefficient of bend depends on?

The three terms coefficient of bend depends on are the angle of bend, the radius of curvature, and the diameter of the pipe.

How local eddies are formed here?

Fluid particles in this region, because of their close proximity to the wall, have low velocities and cannot overcome the adverse pressure gradient and this leads to a separation of flow from the boundary and consequent losses of energy in generating local eddies.
