Secondary Flow (1964)

Year Published: 1964

Format: 16mm/video file

Description: Introduces the idea of secondary flow with the classical teacup experiment. Demonstrates secondary flow in a sink - vortex tank, a bend in an open channel and at the base of a strut in a shear flow. Explains in terms of pressure fields on boundary layers and vorticity conservation theorems.Indicates that on regular exterior views important interior details of an object may often show as a confused mass of dotted lines, and demonstrates that the sectional view is the remedy. Describes various types of sections, including a full section, half-section, revolved section, and auxiliary section, and shows how to construct sectional views.
