Analysis of secondary flow characteristics and hydrodynamic instability in fluid flow through curved ducts

This paper presents an investigation on the unique flow characteristics associated with fluid flow through curved ducts, which are fundamentally different to those in straight fluid passages. In curved ducts, the flow is subjected to centrifugal forces that induce counter-rotating vortices in the ma...
