Experimental Investigation of Velocity Distributions Downstream of Single Dust Bends

Abstract

The velocity distribution in curved ducts has been investigated experimentally, notably by Keulegan and Beij (reference 1) and by Kustice (reference 2). The subject is also treated incidentally in numerous investigations of the pressure loss in curved ducts. The available material, however, is neither comprehensive nor does it apply to the types of duct bend found in aircraft installations nor to the range of Reynolds number encountered in their operation.
