Fully developed laminar flow in curved ducts

A mathematical model of steady, fully developed laminar flow in curved ducts is developed and used to derive a simplified computation method to be applied in another mathematical model predicting the flow in river bends. The laminar flow model is verified by comparing its results with analytical, numerical and experimental results reported in...

Flow measurements in a curved rectangular channel

This report describes an extensive experiment on steady turbulent flow in a rather sharply curved U-shaped flume with a shallow rectangular cross-section, under almost the same conditions as earlier, less extensive measurements in the same flume. The experiment was carried out as a part of a research project aiming at a mathematical model of the...
