Fluid and thermal characteristics of flow through rectangular and elliptical curved ducts under different gravity conditions

Active interaction between centrifugal and buoyancy forces in curved channel has been investigated numerically in different gravity condition. Given interaction makes the flow patterns fundamentally different with straight channels; nevertheless, either of these forces domination leads to a differen...
