An experimental investigation was carried out of the development of steady, laminar,
incompressible flow of a Newtonian fluid in the entry region of a curved pipe for the entry …

Laser-Doppler velocity measurements were performed on the entry flow in a 90° bend of
circular cross-section with a curvature ratio a/R= 1/6. The steady entry velocity profile was …

An experimental investitition was made of the entry flow in a curved pipe under conditions
wherein a pulsatile component of flow was superimposed on a steady mean flow. Two …

The full elliptic Navier–Stokes equations have been solved for entrance flow into a curved
pipe using the artificial compressibility technique developed by Chorin (1967). The problem …

A numerical model enabling the prediction of the axial and secondary velocity fields in three-
dimensional configurations at moderate Reynolds numbers and Womersley parameters is …

The influence of curvature on a pipeflow is discussed for a pipe that starts bending uniformly
after an initial straight section. The Reynolds number and curvature are assumed large and …

The laminar flow of an incompressible fluid in the inlet of a pipe is analyzed numerically. The
numerical technique allows a closer approximation to the basic equations of fluid motion …

The steady laminar motion of fluid through pipes of circular cross-section, the curvature of
whose centre-line varies locally, is analysed theoretically. The flow in three kinds of pipes …

A secondary flow is set up when a fluid flows through a stationary curved pipe. The fluid in
the middle of the pipe moves outwards and that near the wall inwards. Dean showed that the …

The present paper summarizes results of experimental and numerical investigations of
laminar flow in a pipe with a sudden contraction in its cross sectional area. Investigations …
