Abstract: | The full Navier-Stokes equations describing flow through a sudden contraction are solved by an explicit finite-difference method. Streamlines, vorticity distributions, velocity profiles, excess pressure drops, and entrance lengths are calculated as functions of Reynolds number and radius ratio. The results are compared with existing experimental data and the limited theoretical work available. |
