Multiple laminar flows of a viscous, incompressible fluid through a curved tube
Abstract
The whole bifurcation diagram of the flow is computed when parameter D (the Dean number) varies using bifurcation theory and an appropriate numerical method. Secondly, the cases of any coiling ratio alpha/L are treated, including both large and small alpha/L.
