Abstract
⺠Inertio-elastic flow in 180° curved duct of square cross-section for FENE-CR fluids. ⺠Parametric and numerical study on flow development with variation of elasticity. ⺠Inertia dominates flow up to 90°, elasticity affects flow after that position. ⺠Elasticity favours secondary flow transition from one to two pairs of vortices. ⺠Changes in velocity distribution with appearance of second pair of vortices.
