Summary

VELOCITY AND TEMPERATURE PROFILES WERE MEASURED AT THE ENTRANCE AND EXIT TO THE HEATING SECTION OF A TOROIDAL THERMOSIPHON LOOP OPERATING UNDER STEADY FLOW CONDITIONS FOR A RANGE OF HEAT INPUTS. DETAILED RESULTS ARE PRESENTED FOR THE LONGITUDINAL AND CIRCUMFERENTIAL COMPONENTS OF THE VELOCITY FOR 4 HEAT INPUTS. THE DATA FOR CROSS-STREAM SECONDARY FLOWS AND STREAMWISE FLOW REVERSALS EMPHASIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF INCLUDING THREE-DIMENSIONAL EFFECTS IN ANALYSES OF THESE SYSTEMS.
