What is On Viscous Flow In Curved Pipes Of Non-uniform Cross-section about?

This paper is concerned with steady, laminar flow of an incompressible NewtoNan fluid in curved pipes of nonuniform cross-section. During the past decade a number of numerical solutions for flow in curved pipes have been obtained using progressively improved computational methods and technology; see e.g. Soh and Berger (Znt. j . nume,: rnethodsjhids, 7, 733-755 (1987)) and Green et al. (Phil. Tmm. R. SOC. Lond. A, 342,543-572 (1993)) for relevant references. These results have been confined mamly to l l l y developed flow in pipes of constaat crosssection. The present study deals with curved pipes of variable cross-section in which the velocity field is necessarily a h c t i o n of the axial location along the pipe centreline in addition to the two cross-sectional coordinates. We use the finite difference method on a staggered grid with Newton's method to solve the Navier-Stokes equations. Results are calculated and presented for non-uniform pipe geometries with curvatm ratios of 0.01 and 0.1. The velocity field for flow through curved pipes of non-uniform cross-section is compared with the corresponding results for flow through straight pipes of non-uniform radius and curved pipes
