Abstract:The present study aims to investigate the effect of the round edge on the laminar Newtonian fluid that flows through a channel. As an innovation, the sine and cosine transform functions are employed to solve the momentum governing equation in Cartesian and Cylindrical coordinates. Owing to the duct symmetric, only the quarter of the cross-section (θ = 0 to π/2) is analyzed. The analytical correlations for velocity distribution in both coordinates are provided; afterward, the effect of the round edge on the vel… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
