Abstract: | Summary Using elliptic coordinates, the flow pattern of a fluid of grade four between two elliptic tubes is determined. A comparison between the position of the maximum of the axial velocity in the present case and in the case of two concentric circular tubes shows a basic difference. In the elliptic case the maximum is shifted towards the external wall, while in the case of concentric circular tubes the shift is in the direction of the internal wall. The secondary flow shows dissymmetry with reference to the intermediate line
, which itself lies nearer to the external wall.
Zusammenfassung Unter Benutzung elliptischer Koordinaten wird die Strömung zwischen zwei elliptischen Rohren bestimmt. Ein Vergleich zwischen der Lage des axialen Geschwindigkeitsmaximums im vorliegenden Fall und im Fall zweier konzentrischer Kreisrohre ergibt einen grundsätzlichen Unterschied: Das Maximum ist im elliptischen Fall zur äußeren Wand hin verschoben, während die Verschiebung im Fall der konzentrischen Kreisrohre zur inneren Wand hin erfolgt. Die Sekundärströmung ist unsymmetrisch relativ zur mittleren Stromlinie
, die selbst näher zur äußeren Wand liegt.
