Observation of Vortex Ring Produced by Oscillating Orifice Tube

Oscillating pendulum decay by emission of vortex rings.

We have studied oscillation of a pendulum in water using spherical bobs. By measuring the loss in potential energy, we estimate the drag coefficient on the sphere and compare to data from liquid-helium experiments. The drag coefficients compare very favorably illustrating the true scaling behavior of this phenomenon. We also studied the decay of amplitude of the pendulum over time. As observed ...

Vortex ring

By rigorous mathematical method, we construct traveling wave solutions with a stationary or traveling vortex ring to the Gross-Pitaevskii equation iût = ε 2 4 û + ( Ṽ − |û| ) û, û ∈ H(R), where the unknown function û is defined as û : R × R → C, ε is a small positive parameter and Ṽ is a smooth potential.

Numerical and Experimental Study of Residual Stress Measurement and Thickness Distribution of T-shape Steel Tube Produced by Tube Hydroforming

Tube hydroforming (THF) process is used to produce the complex components from the initial cylindrical tubes. In this paper, T- shape component was formed using a tube hydroforming machine and the residual stresses of hydroformed tube was determined by hole drilling method. Subsequently, the thickness distribution and residual stresses of final tube were investigated using experimental and fini...

Vortex tube optimization theory

The Ranque–Hilsch vortex tube splits a single high pressure stream of gas into cold and warm streams. Simple models for the vortex tube combined with regenerative precooling are given from which an optimization can be undertaken. Two such optimizations are needed: the first shows that at any given cut or fraction of the cold stream, the best refrigerative load, allowing for the temperature lift...
