Drag reduction in bubbly Taylor-Couette turbulence.
In Taylor-Couette flow the total energy dissipation rate and therefore the drag can be determined by measuring the torque on the system. We do so for Reynolds numbers between Re=7 x 10(4) and Re=10(6) after having injected (i) small bubbles (R=1 mm) up to a volume concentration of alpha=5% and (ii) buoyant particles (rhop/rhol=0.14) of comparable volume concentration. In case (i) we observe a c...
متن کاملTransient turbulence in Taylor-Couette flow.
Recent studies have brought into question the view that at sufficiently high Reynolds number turbulence is an asymptotic state. We present direct observation of the decay of turbulent states in Taylor-Couette flow with lifetimes spanning five orders of magnitude. We also show that there is a regime where Taylor-Couette flow shares many of the decay characteristics observed in other shear flows,...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional elastic turbulence.
We report numerical evidence of elastic turbulence phenomenology in a two-dimensional periodic Kolmogorov flow. By direct numerical simulations of the Oldroyd-B viscoelastic model at very small Reynolds numbers, we find that above the elastic instability threshold the flow develops an elastic turbulent regime. We observe that both the turbulent drag and the Lyapunov exponent increase with the W...
متن کاملHerringbone streaks in Taylor-Couette turbulence.
We study near-wall streaks that form herringbonelike patterns in Taylor-Couette turbulence and in counter-rotating Taylor-Couette turbulence through three-dimensional direct numerical simulations. The orientation, axial distribution, onset, and tilting angle of these streaks are characterized.
متن کاملStratorotational instability in MHD Taylor-Couette flows
Aims. The stability of dissipative Taylor-Couette flows with an axial stable density stratification and a prescribed azimuthal magnetic field is considered. Methods. Global nonaxisymmetric solutions of the linearized MHD equations with toroidal magnetic field, axial density stratification and differential rotation are found for both insulating and conducting cylinder walls. Results. Flat rotati...
