Article Description

Three-dimensional finite-volume simulations of the spatial development of centrifugally unstable flow in a curved channel have been performed, and compared with detailed hot-wire measurements. Both approaches revealed spatially developing streamwise vortex pairs at the concave wall, which gave rise to regions of alternating negative and positive streamwise perturbation velocities. The computational box size was chosen large enough so that the flow was allowed to naturally select the spanwise wave number. The computed velocity field was found to be in excellent agreement with the experimentally determined one. © 1991 American Institute of Physics.
