Abstract
An accelerated flow through a curved pipe has been studied experimentally. It is very useful to investigate such an unsteady flow experimentally for improvements of mechanical efficiency or early detections of disease. In the present experiment, for an abruptly-accelerated flow from rest to Reynolds number Re=2x10^4 in a curved pipe, we measured distributions of axial velocity, wall static pressure and wall shear stress using a hot-wire anemometer and a static pressure gauge simultaneously
