Abstract:
The eigensolution of nonaxisymmetric entry flow of a Newtonian viscous fluid with very small Reynolds number in a semiinfinite rigid circular pipe is obtained. Leading eigenvalues are computed for steady flow and two periodic cases. The result shows that the entry length for nonaxisymmetric flows should be longer than the entry length for axisymmetric flows.
