The Jeffery--Hamel Similarity Solution and its Relation to Flow in a Diverging Channel

Abstract

We explore the relevance of the idealised Jeffery--Hamel similarity solution to the practical problem of flow in a diverging channel of finite (but large) streamwise extent. Numerical results are presented for the two-dimensional flow in a wedge of separation angle \$2\alpha\$, bounded by circular arcs at the inlet/outlet and for a net radial outflow of fluid. In particular, we show that in a finite domain there is a sequence of nested neutral curves in the \$(Re, \alpha)\$ plane, each corresponding...
