Abstract
Analytical flow models are frequently applied when describing constricted channel flow at low and moderate Reynolds numbers. A common assumption underlying such flow models is two-dimensional or axi-symmetrical flow. In this work, two analytical model approaches are formulated in order to overcome this assumption in the case of naturally occurring channel flows for which the assumption might be critiqued. Advantages and flaws of both model approaches are discussed and their outcome is compared with experimental data.
