Eccentricity of swirl center in a swirling flow through a pipe is analyzed by using momentum theory which affords a balance equation between moment of axi-asymmetric pressure force caused by an eccentric flow and a change of moment of momentum. By solving this equation, one can obtain a solution of helically twisted swirl center. The calculated results show good agreement with the experimental ones.
