Physics:Internal flow
From HandWiki
Short description: Fluid flow within a fully confined region
In fluid mechanics, internal flow is a flow wherein the fluid is completely confined by inner surfaces of an item (e.g. a tube).[1] Hence the boundary layer is unable to develop without eventually being constrained. The internal flow configuration represents a convenient geometry for heating and cooling fluids used in chemical processing, environmental control, and energy conversion technologies.
An example includes flow in a pipe.
