Abstract: In this paper, we use the well-known background method to obtain a rigorous lower bound on the volume flow rate through a helical pipe driven by a pressure differential in the limit of large Reynolds number. As a consequence, we also obtain an equivalent upper bound on the friction factor. These bounds are also valid for toroidal and straight pipes as limiting cases. By considering a two-dimensional background flow with varying boundary layer thickness along the circumference of the pipe, we obtain these bounds as a function of the curvature and torsion of the pipe and therefore capture the geometrical aspects of the problem. In this paper, we also present a sufficient criterion to find out which pressure-driven flow and surface-velocity-driven flow problems can be tackled using the background method.
