Vortex structure-based analysis of laminar flow behaviour and thermal characteristics in curved ducts

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a numerical investigation for examining the secondary vortex motion and associated heat transfer process in fluid flow through curved passages and developed two numerical approaches offering improved capabilities for capturing the onset of hydrodynamic instability and resulting Dean vortices.

Second law analysis of curved rectangular channels

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the thermodynamic performance of the curved rectangular channels in laminar flow in terms of entropy generation and showed that the geometric parameters have important influences on the heat transfer performance of channel flows.

An analytical solution for Dean flow in curved ducts with rectangular cross section

TL;DR: In this paper, a full analytical solution for incompressible flow inside the curved ducts with rectangular cross-section is presented for the first time, where the perturbation method is applied to solve the governing equations and curvature ratio is considered as the perturbing parameter.

Deterministic nonperiodic flow

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that nonperiodic solutions are ordinarily unstable with respect to small modifications, so that slightly differing initial states can evolve into considerably different states, and systems with bounded solutions are shown to possess bounded numerical solutions.

A bifurcation study of laminar flow in a curved tube of rectangular cross- section

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that for a square cross-section, the transition is a result of a complex structure of multiple, symmetric and asymmetric solutions, which is revealed by solving extended systems of equations for steady-state, fully developed, laminar flow, in a finite-element approximation, to locate exactly the positions of singular points.

Laminar forced convection heat transfer in curved rectangular channels

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present flow and heat transfer results obtained by a point successive over-relaxation method for steady fully developed laminar flow in curved rectangular channels under the thermal boundary conditions of axially uniform wall heat flux and peripherally uniform wall temperature.
