A review of flow and heat transfer characteristics in curved tubes
Paisarn Naphon,Somchai Wongwises +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a literature review on heat transfer and flow characteristics of single-phase and two-phase flow in curved tubes is presented, where three main categories of curved tubes; helically coiled tubes, spirally coiling tubes, and other coiled tube, are described.

Simulation of helical flows in microchannels
TL;DR: In this paper, a new type of micromixer is proposed that relies on the transition of the secondary flow pattern from two to four vortices, and the corresponding helical flows are analyzed for various Reynolds numbers ranging from 1 to 900.

Dean Flow Dynamics in Low-Aspect Ratio Spiral Microchannels.
TL;DR: This work is the first to experimentally and numerically investigate Dean flows in microchannels for Re > 100, and show presence of secondary Dean vortices beyond a critical Dean number, and offers new insights into secondary flow instabilities for low-aspect ratio, spiral microch channels.

Velocity redistribution in curved rectangular channels
TL;DR: In this paper, the main velocity redistribution in steady flow through curved conduits of shallow rectangular cross-section is considered and its mechanism is analyzed using a mathematical model of steady incompressible laminar flow in coiled rectangular pipes.
