##article.abstract##

The mathematical models of 3D flows through curved channels with one-sided bumps are developed. Two channel configurations are considered, namely, the top bumpy wall-smooth wall (T-S) configuration and the smooth wall-bottom bumpy wall (S-B) configuration. The analytical solutions of the complex flow models are given. The dependence of the flows on the parameters of the problems are shown explicitly through the analytical solutions. The present work gives a fundamental insight to describing and understanding flows in channels with protrusions.
