TLDR
In this paper, it is assumed that the actual secondary motion is replaced by a uniform stream; conditions in the central part of the section mainly determines the motion and the appropriate velocity of the stream can be determined from the relation that has been found experimentally between the rate of flow in a curved pipe and the pressure gradient.
Abstract
In the stream-line motion of fluid in a curved pipe the primary motion along the line of the pipe is accompanied by a secondary motion in the plane of the cross-section. The secondary motion decreases the rate of flow produced by a given pressure gradient and causes an outward movement of the region where the primary motion is greatest. It is difficult to deduce these consequences from the exact equations of motion, but it is easy to do so if it is assumed that the actual secondary motion is replaced by a uniform stream; conditions in the central part of the section mainly determines the motion and here the secondary motion is approximately a uniform stream. The appropriate velocity of the stream can be determined from the relation that has been found experimentally between the rate of flow in a curved pipe and the pressure gradient.

The influence of the non-Newtonian properties of blood on the flow in large arteries: unsteady flow in a 90° curved tube

TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical and experimental investigation of unsteady entry flow in a 90 degrees curved tube is presented to study the impact of the non-Newtonian properties of blood on the velocity distribution.

On the effect of torsion on a helical pipe flow

TL;DR: In this paper, the Navier-Stokes equations for a steady incompressible viscous flow have been explicitly written in this frame of reference, and the flow in a helical pipe has been studied, and, formdii 5f curvature and torsion small compared with the radius of the pipe, the flow has been considered as a perturbed Poiseuille flow.

Pulsatile flow in a model carotid bifurcation.

TL;DR: The location of low wall shear stresses, directionally varying stresses, and longer residence times for fluid elements appears to coincide with the localization of early atheromatous plaques in human carotid specimens.

Comparison of flow patterns in ascending aortic aneurysms and volunteers using four-dimensional magnetic resonance velocity mapping

TL;DR: To determine the difference in flow patterns between healthy volunteers and ascending aortic aneurysm patients using time‐resolved three‐dimensional (3D) phase contrast magnetic resonance velocity (4D‐flow) profiling, 4D-flow profiling is used.

Hemodynamics in a cerebral artery before and after the formation of an aneurysm.

TL;DR: Using data obtained from 3D digital subtraction angiography acquisitions, computational fluid dynamics techniques were used first to assess hemodynamic factors in geometrically correct models of 3 paraclinoid aneurysms and then again for assessment after virtual removal and reconstruction of the parent artery.

Streamline Flow through Curved Pipes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors defined a numerical coefficient, defined as F d /8 μv representing the increase of resistance due to curvature, d, diameter of pipe, D, mean diameter of coil.

Experiments on stream-line motion in curved pipes

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that even a small curvature in the length of a cylindrical pipe affected the quantity of flow of water through the pipe, inasmuch as the effect at velocities below the critical velocity for a straight pipe was most remarkable.
