Thin-film flow in helically wound shallow channels of arbitrary cross-sectional shape

Thin-Film Flow in Open Helically-Wound Channels

The study of flow in open helically-wound channels has application to many natural and industrial flows, including those in static spiral separators. The flow consists of a primary axial component and a secondary cross flow and, in spiral separators, the fluid depth is typically small making experimental investigation difficult. Mathematical models are therefore of great value for determining h...

An approximate model for slug flow heat transfer in channels of arbitrary cross section

In this paper, a novel approximate solution to determine the Nusselt number for thermally developed, slug (low-prandtl), laminar, single phase flow in channels of arbitrary cross section is presented. Using the Saint-Venant principle in torsion of beams, it is shown that the thermally developed Nusselt number for low-prandtl flow is only a function of the geometrical parameters of the channel c...
