Velocity Distribution in Channels of Various Geometry and Roughness

  • Published:
Power Technology and Engineering Aims and scope

The article examines the velocity distribution in trays with different cross-sectional form and roughness. Analysis was conducted on the effect of various factors on the position of the maximum speed point. It is shown that at the position of the maximum speed point, the effect of the value of drag coefficient is manifest. It was found that with an increase in the roughness of the inner surface of the channel, the position of the maximum speed point shifts to the free surface of the flow.
