Study of the effects of centrifugal instabilities on flow in a 40 to 1 aspect ratio rectangular curved channel, for Dean numbers from 35 to fully turbulent conditions

Approved for public release; distribution unlimited. === The development and structure of Dean vortices in a high aspect ratio curved channel were measured and studied for Dean numbers from 35 to fully turbulent conditions. Mean vorticity components were determined from measurements of the three com...
