Pressure drop coefficient of laminar Newtonian flow in axisymmetric diffusers

The laminar flow of Newtonian fluids in axisymmetric diffusers has been numerically investigated to evaluate the pressure-loss coefficient as a function of Reynolds number, diffusion angle and expansion ratio. The numerical simulations were carried out with a finitevolume based code using non-orthog...
