Statistics of turbulent fluctuations in counter-rotating Taylor-Couette flows.
The statistics of velocity fluctuations of turbulent Taylor-Couette flow are examined. The rotation rates of the inner and outer cylinders are varied while keeping the Taylor number fixed to 1.49×10(12) [O(Re)=10(6)]. The azimuthal velocity component of the flow is measured using laser Doppler anemometry. For each experiment 5×10(6) data points are acquired and carefully analyzed. Using extende...
متن کاملUltimate turbulent Taylor-Couette flow.
The flow structure of strongly turbulent Taylor-Couette flow with Reynolds numbers up to Re(i)=2×10(6) of the inner cylinder is experimentally examined with high-speed particle image velocimetry (PIV). The wind Reynolds numbers Re(w) of the turbulent Taylor-vortex flow is found to scale as Re(w)∝Ta(1/2), exactly as predicted by Grossmann and Lohse [Phys. Fluids 23, 045108 (2011).] for the ultim...
متن کاملTurbulent Bursts in Couette-Taylor Flow.
We present a physical explanation of turbulent bursts in the flow between concentric, rotating cylinders (Couette-Taylor flow), based on fully resolved direct numerical calculations. The bursts are a temporal oscillation between a spatially laminar flow and turbulence, discovered experimentally by Hamill et al. The onset of turbulence is shown to be due to a linear instability of the spiral flo...
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...
متن کاملFamilies of subcritical spirals in highly counter-rotating Taylor-Couette flow.
A comprehensive numerical exploration of secondary finite-amplitude solutions in small-gap Taylor-Couette flow for high counter-rotating Reynolds numbers is provided, using Newton-Krylov methods embedded within arclength continuation schemes. Two different families of rotating waves have been identified: short axial wavelength subcritical spirals ascribed to centrifugal mechanisms and large axi...
