STREAMLIKE FUNCTION FORMULATION OF ENTRY FLOW
Keywords:
KeywordsAbstract
A numerical study offl uid flow in a rectangular dUCI is presented.
Theflow ofthe working fluid is assumed to be steady and laminar.
It is also assumed that the flow field is rotational. The flow
analysis is carried out in three dimensional space using Cartesian
coordinate. The problem formulation results in a non-linear type
partial differential equationfor the through flow velocity, which is
solved numerically using marching technique. The other
formulation is an elliptic type partial differential equation, for
which the streamlike function is solved using successive over
relaxation method. The results obtained are investigated to
determine the velocity distribution across a constant duct cross
section and the development ofthroughflow velocity in the duct.
