Abstract

Thermistor anemometer measurements in a curved rectangular duct and a straight circular cross section tube permitted verification of the theoretical values of tangential velocities computed on the basis of the solution of the Navier-Stokes equation for the drag isothermal and creeping flow of a Newtonian liquid. From comparison of the theoretical and experimental values there follows that the achieved agreement is acceptable.
