Numerical simulation of three-dimensional duct flows of incompressible fluids by using the stream-tube method. I: Newtonian equation (Q1209172)

In this paper the stream-tube method in three-dimensional duct flows is considered. The analysis uses the concept of stream tubes in a mapped computational domain of the physical domain where the streamlines are parallel and straight. The incompressibility equation is automatically verified, and the primary unknowns of the problem are, in addition to the pressure, the transformation functions between the two domains.
