A Theoretical Analysis of the Velocity Fields in Eccentric Annuli

Abstract

<p>A theoretical analysis of the velocity and wall shear stress distributions for fully developed turbulent flow in annular passages is reported in this thesis. The study was carried out for a range of eccentricities from 0 to 80 percent and for Reynolds numbers from 20,000 to 100,000 for a radius ratio of 1/3.5 with an inner radius of 0.25 inches. For the concentric case, the solution was found to be in agreement with experimental fact.</p>
