Abstract

The features of a Newtonian-fluid flow in a two-dimensional channel with sudden contraction and expansion are investigated by numerical modeling. The kinetics of the bifurcation transition from the symmetric mode to steady-state asymmetric flow on the outlet from the zone of contraction of the channel is analyzed. The linear dependence of the degree of asymmetry of flow on the Reynolds number is established.
