From: Dean Flow Dynamics in Low-Aspect Ratio Spiral Microchannels
(a) Top-view of the single loop of the spiral model simulated using Star CCM+ at 1 m/s. Cross-sectional images of the scalar velocity profile and corresponding images of the Dean flow vectors from De = 0 (straight channel) and De = 343. (b) Plot of the shift of center of maximum velocity from the center of the channel (x) relative to half width of the channel (W0.5) as De is increased.
