Swirling effects on laminarization of gas flow in a strongly heated tube

A combination of two particular heat transfer models was applied to numerically analyze gas flows and heat transfer in an axially rotating pipe with high heat flux. Among other results, the experiment found that pipe rotation causes a considerable reduction of the local Stanton number in a lower heat flux case where no laminarization occurs in a stationary pipe flow. An increase in tube rotation results in an augmentation in laminarization in a gas flow.
