Abstract
The equal order spectral element approximation for velocity and pressure is applied to flows in pipes with two planar curvatures. The spatial discretization proposed herein allows the simulation of higher Reynolds number flows on a coarse mesh. This study combines periodic variation of both the curvature and torsion by analyzing pipe geometries with two planar curvatures. The effects of the Reynolds number on the flow are studied in particular on the secondary flow and wall shear stress, which is especially important for blood flows.
