Abstract

The objective of this paper is to show how to formulate a bifurcation theory for pipe flows in terms of the friction factor. We compute the slope of the friction factor vs. Reynolds number curve and the frequency change for the time-periodic solution which bifurcates from Poiseuille flow through annular ducts.
