Steady laminar flow of an incompressible Newtonian fluid through a curved pipe of small curvature is considered. The governing equations of flow are obtained in terms of secondary flow stream function and axial velocity component as suggested by Dean. A method of successive approximations is developed to solve these equations. The first five approximations are computed. The solution obtained is used to determine the axial velocity distribution, secondary flow pattern, axial pressure drop, and pressure distribution along the pipe wall. A semiempirical equation is obtained for axial pressure drop. The theoretical results obtained are compared with the available experimental data on axial pressure drop.

Experimental results are presented for the flow of an incompressible Newtonian fluid, with full admission, between closely spaced corotating disks. The radial pressure distribution is shown to coincide very closely with analytical results for laminar flow earlier presented by other investigators, over a wide range of the parameters pertinent to the flow description. A referenced analytical model for laminar flow between corotating disks is thus given credence. The experimental arrangement and procedure are described and a supporting uncertainty analysis is presented.
