Abstract: This work is concerned with fully developed constant-density turbulent flow through rectangular straight ducts rotating in an orthogonal mode. Ducts of both square and 2:1 aspect ratio cross ...

Abstract: The paper points out that, in the numerical computation of elliptic or three-dimensional turbulent flows, the neglect of pressure-variations across the very thin viscosity affected region near ...

Abstract: A numerical study of developing flow through a heated duct of square cross section rotating in orthogonal mode is reported. The two main aims are to explore the effects of rotational buoyancy ...

Abstract: Fine-grid computations are reported of turbulent flow through a square sectioned U-bend corresponding to that for which Chang et al. (1983a) have provided detailed experimental data. A sequence ...

Abstract: This Paper reports laser-Doppler anemometry (LDA) and wall pressure measurements of turbulent flow in a square-sectioned, rotating U-bend, typical of coolant passages employed in modern gas turbine ...

Abstract: This paper reports results from the use of laser-Doppler anemometry (LDA) to measure the mean and fluctuating flow field in a U-bend of strong curvature, Rc/D = 0.65, that is either stationary ...

Abstract: Laser-Doppler measurements of the longitudinal and circumferential velocity components are reported for developing turbulent flow in a strongly curved 180 deg pipe and its downstream tangent. In ...

Abstract: A computational and experimental study is reported of turbulent flow around a square-sectioned U-bend with a mean bend radius equal to 3.375 times the hydraulic diameter (DH ): the duct Reynolds ...
