A curved, rectangular channel fed with lube oil was installed in the cylinder wall of an air cooled internal combustion engine. Inlet oil-flow is initially split into two asymmetrically curved branches. Different channel geometri- cal aspect ratios were used to determine flow pattern especially in t...
