Abstract

Equations for the development of streamwise (or secondary) vorticity, for stationary and rotating systems, are derived directly from the vector equation for vorticity, using intrinsic co-ordinates. This approach places emphasis on the coupled equations for the vorticity components parallel and normal to the streamline. The equations derived are more general than those hitherto available, being valid for compressible, stratified and viscous flow. Some interpretation is given of the physical mechanism causing secondary flow.
