Abstract
Critical Reynolds number analysis was then extended to a three dimensional semi-confined duct with circular inlets. The growth of large recirculation zones and their effect on inflow deformation were measured under increasing Reynolds number. The confinement stifles the growth of the recirculation regions as the Reynolds number is increased, causing a deformation of the inflow circular profile. The deformation of the inflow by the recirculation zones appear to be the driving cause of instability in the three dimensional flows.
