Zusammenfassung

Die kritische Reynoldszahl und die entsprechende Störungswellenzahl wurden für reibungsbehaftete Strömung in gekrümmten Kanälen mit beliebigem Radienverhältnis analytisch berechnet. Im allgemeinen zeigt die Untersuchung, dass die übliche Berechnung nach der für den engen Kanal gültigen Theorie die kritische Reynoldszahl unterschätzt.
