Abstract
An analysis of the axially symmetric boundary layer on the inside of a conical surface due to swirl flow about the conical axis is presented. The momentum integrals of the boundary layer are derived, and both the laminar and turbulent boundary-layer solutions are obtained numerically. In the free stream the flow is assumed to be a potential vortex. A comparison between theory and experiment is made by using the particle paths on the conical surface of a cyclone dust separator.Keywords
