| Abstract: | A general solution is obtained for the problem of the helical motion of an incompressible liquid along a channel with a cross section in the shape of an annular sector or a triangle. The possible use of the solutions so obtained in order to describe secondary flows with repeated circulation in channels of simple shape (ring, circle, square, rhomb, rectangle, equilateral triangle) is demonstrated. The theory is in agreement with experiment. In one particular setting, problems as to the helical motion of an ideal incompressible liquid in channels of simple configuration were solved in 1, 2]. In this paper flows of a more general form with repeated circulation are considered, several vortices occurring inside the tube cross section.Deceased.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR.
