Explore: Secondary Flow

dynamics, flow can be decomposed into primary flow plus secondary flow, a relatively weaker flow pattern superimposed on the stronger primary flow pattern

In fluid dynamics, a secondary circulation or secondary flow is a weak circulation that plays a key maintenance role in sustaining a stronger primary

The primary flow of water in the bowl is circular and the streamlines are concentric with the side of the bowl. However, the secondary flow of the boundary

Helicoidal flow is the cork-screw-like flow of water in a meander. It is one example of a secondary flow. Helicoidal flow is a contributing factor to the

the appearance of secondary flow (both Earth atmosphere and tea cup) with "friction on the bottom". The formation of secondary flows in an annular channel

occur: (1) irrotational flow and (2) secondary flow. For a river to meander, secondary flow must dominate. Irrotational flow: From Bernoulli's equations

viscous effects, which generate secondary flow, vortices, tip leakage vortices, and other effects that interrupt smooth flow and cause loss of efficiency

the stream enters a bend and vortex flow commences as the primary flow, a secondary flow also commences and flows partly across the floor of the stream

techniques can be applied to this effect, including generating strong secondary flows or increasing boundary layer turbulence. During the earliest attempts

flow becomes unstable and a secondary steady state characterized by axisymmetric toroidal vortices, known as Taylor vortex flow, emerges. Subsequently, upon
