Notes:
A finite element solution is developed for a penalty function formulation of the equations which govern the steady motion of a Newtonian fluid through a pipe that rotates about an axis not parallel to its own. The motion in this system is driven by the Coriolis acceleration, which has components in the axial direction as well as in the transverse plane of the pipe. The relative magnitudes of these components significantly affect the qualitative and quantitative nature of the primary and secondary flow field. The present results compare favourably with those of previously reported experimental and theoretical studies over a wide range of flow regimes.
