This monograph presents results of the analytical and numerical modeling of convective heat and
mass transfer in different rotating flows caused by (i) system rotation (ii) swirl flows due
to swirl generators and (iii) surface curvature in turns and bends. Volume forces (i.e.
centrifugal and Coriolis forces) which influence the flow pattern emerge in all of these
rotating flows. The main part of this work deals with rotating flows caused by system rotation
which includes several rotating-disk configurations and straight pipes rotating about a
parallel axis. Swirl flows are studied in some of the configurations mentioned above.
Curvilinear flows are investigated in different geometries of two-pass ribbed and smooth
channels with 180° bends. The author demonstrates that the complex phenomena of fluid flow and
convective heat transfer in rotating flows can be successfully simulated using not only the
universal CFD methodology but in certain cases by means of the integral methods self-similar
and analytical solutions. The book will be a valuable read for research experts and
practitioners in the field of heat and mass transfer.
