Summary

APPLICATION OF AN IMPROVED FLOW VISUALIZATION TECHNIQUE HAS DEMONSTRATED THAT AT ANGLES UP TO ABOUT 80 DEG THE FLUID FLOWS MAINLY ALONG THE FURROWS ON EACH PLATE. A SECONDARY, SWIRLING MOTION IS IMPOSED ON THE FLOW ALONG A FURROW WHEN ITS PATH IS CROSSED BY STREAMS FLOWING ALONG FURROWS ON THE OPPOSITE WALL. THIS SECONDARY MOTION DETERMINES THE TRANSFER PROCESS ; AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THIS MOTION THE TRANSFER IS FAIRLY UNIFORMLY DISTRIBUTED ACROSS THE WIDTH OF THE PLATES.
