Abstract
The flow in a helical duct with rectangular cross-section is analyzed. A series solution based on curvature and torsion is introduced. The components of the series are determined analytically using appropriate eigenfunction expansions. The resulting solution is limited to flows in the low Dean number, low Germano number regime. An analytical friction factor relation is established and compared with previous numerically determined correlations.
