Modelling of Secondary Flow Vortex Structures, Hydrodynamic Instability and Associated Heat Transfer in Fluid Flow Through Curved Ducts

This paper presents a numerical study that examines the secondary flow and thermal behaviour in curved rectangular ducts. For developing laminar flow through these ducts, a novel 3-dimensional model based on vortex structures is formulated and a parametric influence is examined using the contours of...
