Analysis of Secondary Flow Instability and Forced Convection in Fluid Flow through Rectangular and Elliptical Curved Ducts

This article examines the unique fluid flow characteristics and associated forced convection in curved ducts where the flow behavior is typified by counterrotating secondary flow vortices arising from the centrifugal forces due to flow curvature. For laminar developing fluid flow through curved heat...
