Hydraulic Research in the United States (Classic Reprint)
Middleton, Helen K. Excerpt from Hydraulic Research in the United StatesDetailed study of flow processes in bends with main emphasis on guide vane bends. Two dimensional and secondary effects are to be separated so that the performance of a given bend geometry can be predicted.It has been shown that secondary flows have only a small influence upon the two-dimension al deflection in a guide vane bend, but increase the two-dimensional loss many fold. The relation o...
