An iteration technique has been developed to solve the equations of motion for flow of an incompressible Newtonian fluid through a circular tube with a radius which varies sinusoidally in the axial direction. The iteration is essentially geometric; one proceeds from a solution for flow through a tube in which the wavelength of diameter change in the axial direction is arbitrarily large to a solution for the wavelength and amplitude of interest. Theoretical predictions of inception of secondary flow are in good agreement with experiments.
