Abstract

We present numerically determined traveling-wave solutions for pressure-driven flow through a straight duct with a square cross section. This family of solutions represents typical coherent structures (a staggered array of counter-rotating streamwise vortices and an associated low-speed streak) on each wall. Their streamwise average flow in the cross-sectional plane corresponds to an eight-vortex pattern much alike the secondary flow found in the turbulent regime.
