| dc.description.abstract | The development of a wake flow downstream of a cylindrical rod within a curved channel under turbomachinery flow conditions such as streamline curvature and zero, positive and negative pressure gradients has been investigated theoretically. The theoretical framework is based on the equations of continuity and motion that are transformed into an orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system. These equations describing the wake phenomenon are solved for getting mean velocities, reynolds normal and shear stresses. The theory also describes the straight wake as a special case, for which the radius of curvature approaches infinity. To show general validity of theory, it has been compared with experimental measurements available from Turbomachinery Performance Laboratory at Texas A&M University and from literature. | en |
