Transition in circular Couette flow
Two distinct kinds of transition have been identified in Couette flow between concentric rotating cylinders. The first, which will be called transition by spectral evolution, is characteristic of the motion when the inner cylinder has a larger angular velocity than the outer one. As the speed increases, a succession of secondary modes is excited; the first is the Taylor motion (periodic in the ...
متن کاملHydrodynamic stability of a suspension in cylindrical Couette flow
A linear stability analysis was carried out for a dilute suspension of rigid spherical particles in cylindrical Couette flow. The perturbation equations for both the continuous fluid phase and the discontinuous particle phase were decomposed into normal modes resulting in an eigenvalue problem that was solved numerically. At a given radius ratio, the theoretical critical Taylor number at which ...
متن کاملNonaxisymmetric magnetorotational instabilities in cylindrical Taylor-Couette flow.
We study the stability of cylindrical Taylor-Couette flow in the presence of azimuthal magnetic fields, and show that one obtains nonaxisymmetric magnetorotational instabilities, having azimuthal wave number m=1. For Omega{o}/Omega{i} only slightly greater than the Rayleigh value (r{i}/r{o}){2}, the critical Reynolds and Hartmann numbers are Re{c} approximately 10{3} and Ha{c} approximately 10{...
متن کاملNew type of magnetorotational instability in cylindrical taylor-couette flow.
We study the stability of cylindrical Taylor-Couette flow in the presence of combined axial and azimuthal magnetic fields, and show that adding an azimuthal field profoundly alters the previous results for purely axial fields. For small magnetic Prandtl numbers Pm, the critical Reynolds number Re(c) for the onset of the magnetorotational instability becomes independent of Pm, whereas for purely...
متن کاملVisual Observation of Flow Regime Transition in Downward Vertical Gas-Liquid Flow Using Simple Mixer
Different flow patterns of downward gas-liquid two-phaseflow using simple mixer are studied in an experimental manner. An experimental setup is designed and fabricated to allow the visual observation of downward two-phase flow patterns and their transitions. The flow patterns are recorded by a 1200 frames per second high speed video camera. The quality of downward two-phase flow patterns photos...
