Pressure drop coefficient of laminar newtonian flow in axisymmetric sudden expansions

Laminar flow of a Newtonian fluid in an axisymmetric pipe expansion has been studied numerically by means of the finite-volume approach. Predicted values of some of the overall flow characteristics, such as recirculation length, its strength, and centre location, were compared with available experim...
