Abstract
A curved channel duct was designed, built and used specifically to produce Dean vortices as a result of flow around a 180° curve. We present evidence, using optical reflection, of the existence of these vortices in the curved region and following flat section. By placing a test membrane section in the flat region, we report on increased permeation (up to 30%) in the presence of weak Dean vortices as compared to pure crossflow without such vortices. These results augur well for the development of a new vortex-inducing membrane module.
