Transient 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 کاملTransition to turbulence in Taylor-Couette ferrofluidic flow
It is known that in classical fluids turbulence typically occurs at high Reynolds numbers. But can turbulence occur at low Reynolds numbers? Here we investigate the transition to turbulence in the classic Taylor-Couette system in which the rotating fluids are manufactured ferrofluids with magnetized nanoparticles embedded in liquid carriers. We find that, in the presence of a magnetic field tra...
متن کاملDefect-mediated turbulence in ribbons of viscoelastic Taylor-Couette flow.
Transition to defect-mediated turbulence in the ribbon patterns observed in a viscoelastic Taylor-Couette flow is investigated when the rotation rate of the inner cylinder is increased while the outer cylinder is fixed. In four polymer solutions with different values of the elasticity number, the defects appear just above the onset of the ribbon pattern and trigger the appearance of disordered ...
متن کاملOscillating Taylor-Couette Flow
A flow transition in a coaxial rotating cylinder with only inner cylinder rotation was investigated using ultrasonic Doppler method for a wide range of Reynolds number up to 40 times critical Reynolds number (Rc). By analysing spatio-temporal velocity profiles, excitation functions of various transition modes such as wavy and modulated wavy modes were obtained using space-time Fourier expansion...
متن کاملDrag 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...
