A study of potential flow with separation in unsymmetric bends
Abstract
Kirchhoff free-streamline concept is applied to study two-dimensional potential flow with separation in bends of various area ratios and turning angles. The solution is obtained via successive mapping of the hodograph plane. The flow pattern is studied for the unsymmetric bend and compared to that of the symmetric bend. The calculated values of the coefficient of contraction were found to agree favorably with the measured ones.
