INTRODUCTION Stey flow to uve pipes hs been stuie extensively ue to the pplitions engeeg. Annul flow is n impotnt fetue ouble-pipe het exhnges, hemil mixg n yg mhey. The theoetil explotion of the stey flow pipe of slight uvtue ws fist onsiee by Den [1, ]. It ws shown tht the effet of uvtue is to eue the flux, n tht the non-imensionl volume flux epens only on the so-lle Den numbe K = whee n R R( mx / ) e, espetively, the ius n the ius of uvtue of the pipe, mx is the mximum xil veloity stight pipe of the sme ius n pessue gient n is the kemti visosity of the flui. Den s solution is vli fo K 576. Den s wok ws extene by MConlogue n Sivstv [3] who opte the pmete 1 D = G 3 R μ ple of K, whee μ is the oeffiient of visosity n G is the onstnt pessue gient. The eltion between D n K is given by D = 4K 1. By mens of Fouie nlysis they eue the equtions of motion to oy iffeentil equtions whih e solve numeilly the nge 96 D In tems of the Den numbe D efe by MConlogue n Sivstv [3], expeimentl eviene ite tht the uppe limit of the lm-flow nge ws ppoximtely D=5. Tuesell n Ale [4] bige ptilly the gp by obtg esults up to D=3578 though numeil poeue, wokg on helilly oile pipe of moete pith. An othe ppoh ws given by Geenspn [5]. A ombtion of entl, fow n *Aess oesponene to this utho t the Tehnologil Eutionl Institute of Pts, Deptment of Mehnil Engeeg, M. Alexnou 1, Pt, Geee; E-mil: petkis@teipt.g bkw iffeene sheme ws use to ppoximte the equtions of motion by iffeene equtions. The metho ws pplie fo viety of vlues of D between zeo n 5. The spg the il n the ngul ietion ws the sme fo ll D (=.1 n =/18, espetively). Among the most elible stuies, is tht Colls n Denis [6] who eple ll ptil eivtives the equtions of motion by entl-iffeene ppoximtions. They use thee pis of gi sizes (=.1 n =/18, =.5 n =/36, =.5 n =/7) fo 96 D 5. An epte iteion of uy ws opte s temtg onition to the solution poeue of the iffeene equtions whih wee of seon-oe uy ws opte s temtg onition to the solution poeue of the iffeene equtions t ll gi pots. In subsequent ppe Dennis [7] ppoximte the Nvie-Stokes equtions of motion by fite-iffeene equtions whih wee of seonoe uy with espet to the gi sizes. Annul flow uve pipes volvg het tnsfe hs been stuie by Khlios [8], n Choi n Pk [9], while possible effets of tey theteiztion on theosleosis hs been stuie by Khlios n Petkis [1]. In the pesent wok the fully evelope flow of visous ompessible flui uve nnul pipe is stuie numeilly. The poeue oves the nge 96 D 8 n efes to both smll o lge ius tio k (the numbe k is efe s the tio of the ius k of the pipe to the ius of the oe). The equtions of motion e ppoximte tems of fite iffeenes t the gi pots of the nnul om. In ptiul, the ppoximtion is bse on elxtion metho esibe by Allen n Shwell [11]. Five pis of gi sizes e use fo 96 D 8 n the egee of uy of the lulte esults is eteme by test whih temtes the itetive poeue.

An teestg fetue of the flow the nnul pipe is the flux. It is shown tht the flux is eue ompe to tht stight pipe when the Den numbe is lge.

Numeil Solution The uppe semiiul nnul egion 1/k 1, (Fig. ), is ivie to gi fome by the il les =jg n the semi-iles =1/k+ih, whee h, g enote the size of the gi the esg il ietion n the esg ngle, espetively. In oe to ppoximte t eh gi pot the xil veloity n the stemfuntion we follow metho popose by Petkis n Khlios [1] k = : DD 1 : = 35 :D= = k =1 : DD 1 : = 35 :D= = Fig. (). Mesh pots - plne. The fl lgebi system ws solve numeilly usg n itetive poeue, the suessive ove elxtion metho. It is neessy to mention tht the itetive sheme ws epete until the opte iteion of uy fo w, mx 1 w () s (,) w ( s+1) (,) 5 15 ws stisfie.

One ll quntities h onvege to limits, the itetive sequene ws temte. Fo ius tio k= n k=5, solutions wee ie fo D=96, 5,, 8, eh one obte usg five iffeent pis of gi sizes. Fo k=1 we obte solutions fo D up to 7, g with the sme pis of gi sizes ( h=/8, g=/8, h=/16, g=/16, h=/3, g=/3, () h=/64, g=/64 n (e) h=/18, g=/18). Flly, the se k=1 we employe only the fist fou pis n we obte solutions with D vyg between 96 n 5.

The egions of the flow e not istt n this is ue to the smll with of the nnul gp. In the limit k 1(Fig. 3), it is eviene tht the flow is simil to the Couette-type flow. hen the oe is smlle (k=1) (Fig. 3b), we see tht the flow onsists of entl visi egion tht the vlue of the xil veloity is vible, while the mximum of the vlue of the xil veloity beomes lge s D eses. In Fig. (3) we show the se fo n even smlle oe ius (k=1). Cuves of onstnt xil veloity e plotte Fig. (4) fo k= n fo vious vlues of the Den numbe. The veloity pofiles ite tht the isoveloity uves e iles onenti to the bounies. As D eses the isoveloity uves fom septe loop the e pt of the ben ue to the entifugl foes. In Fig. (5) we hve plotte the isoveloity uves fo smll oe ii (k=1). The fom of these uves ites the evelopment of entl visi egion s D eses.

The flow ptten ites the effet of the Den numbe n of the size of the oe on the seony flow itself. The fomtion of the system of fou voties is the esult of the visous hte of the Stokes bouny lyes tht e fome long the two bounies. hen k=1 (Fig. 7) n fo smll vlues of Den numbe two lge voties e fome, exteng to the whole nge of the flui, n two smlle voties lose to the e sie of the ne bouny.
