Laser-Doppler velocimetry and pressure measurements are presented of the local velocity and wall pressure distributions in a rotating two-pass square duct with staggered ribs placed on the leading and trailing walls at an angle of to the main stream. The ribs were square in cross section with the radii of rounds and fillets to rib height ratios of 0.33. The rib-height/duct-height ratio and the pitch/rib-height ratio were 0.136 and 10, respectively. The duct Reynolds number was and rotation number Ro ranged from 0 to 0.2. Results are documented in terms of the evolutions of both main flow and cross-stream secondary flow, the distributions of the pressure coefficient, and the variation of friction factor with Ro. For CFD reference, the periodic fully developed flow condition is absent for the present length of the rotating passage roughened with staggered ribs. In addition, the relationships between the regional averaged Nusselt number, transverse and convective mean velocity component, and turbulent kinetic energy are addressed. Using these relationships the general superiority of heat transfer enhancement of the staggered ribs arrangement over the in-line one can be reasonably illustrated. Simple expressions are obtained to correlate the friction factor with Ro, which are lacking in the published literature for passages ribbed with staggered ribs. The staggered ribs are found to reduce the friction loss to about of the in-line ribs for the rotating passage under the same operating conditions. The respective contributions of the angled ribs and passage rotation on the passage friction loss are identified.
