... (Available in full paper), where "a" and "R" are radii of the pipe and curvature. W 0 is the maximum axial velocity in the cross-section and νis kinematic viscosity. This parameter (K) was later called the Dean number. There have been several versions of Dean number, but the most common one is defined...
