Abstract
The response of turbulent flow to abrupt changes in pipe wall roughness is studied here. It is shown that a circumferential flow will not develop near the wall in a pipe with a short patch of circumferentially varying roughness. It is therefore concluded that the secondary flow mechanism would play no part in the liquid film distribution in horizontal annular flow.
