Effect of torsion in a helical pipe flow

The problem of fully developed steady viscous incompressible flow in a helical pipe is studied. The predicted analytical expression in the literature for the flow rate is improved. The present result shows a reduction in the flow rate with increasing torsion, for a given curvature. Qualitatively thi...
