摘要: The number and distribution of the singular points of streamlines in the cross-section of steady flow through a curved tube are discussed by using the method of topological structure analysis. And a theoretical criterion is obtained for the bifurcation of flow vortexes for the secondary flow turning from two-vortex structure into four-vortex structure. Furthermore, the critical Dean number for bifurcation and the semi-analytical expressions of stream function and axial velocity are given by using Galerkin technique. The result of calculation is consistent with the theoretical criterion.
