Due to the rotation, the Coriolis force can also contribute to the secondary flow.The interaction between rotation, torsion, and curvature complicates the flow characteristics. Theeffects of rotation and torsion on the flow transitions are studied in details. The results showthat there are obvious differences between the flow in rotating ducts and in helical ducts withoutrotation. Certain hitherto unknown flow patterns are found. The effects of rotation and torsion onthe friction factor are also examined. Present results show the characteristics of the fluid flow inrotating helical square ducts.展开更多

The governing equations were written in an orthogonal helicalcoordinate system and fully parabolized in the axial direction. Results were found out over a widerange of the governing parameters. Two axial velocity entries were taken into account. Thedevelopment of secondary flow, axial velocity and temperature distribution for the large Dean numberwere examined in detail and the effects of different governing parameters on the friction factorand- the Nusselt number were annlyzee. Many new and interesting conclusions were reached. Thepresent results reveal the nature of fluid flow and heat transfer in the developing region ofhelical square ducts.展开更多
