Description The steady, laiminar flow of a Casson fluid in a curved tube of circular cross section has been analysed for large values of Dean number. A plug core formation region around the center and a viscous dominated flow region near the tube wall has been considered. Boundary layer approximations to the modified Navier-Stokes equations governing the flow of Casson fluid have been applied. The use of momentum integral technique reduces the governing equations to a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations which has been solved numerically by using Runge-Kutta Merson technique followed by an iterative procedure. The velocity distribution and frictional resistance for materials with different yield number have been determined and compared.
