Surface switching statistics of rotating fluid: Disk-rim gap effects

Flow transitions in the surface switching of rotating fluid

Polygons on a rotating fluid surface.

We report a novel and spectacular instability of a fluid surface in a rotating system. In a flow driven by rotating the bottom plate of a partially filled, stationary cylindrical container, the shape of the free surface can spontaneously break the axial symmetry and assume the form of a polygon rotating rigidly with a speed different from that of the plate. With water, we have observed polygons...

Vibration Analysis of Rotating Shaft with Loose Disk

In this paper energy method is used to calculate rotor response with loose rotating disk on it. System equation of motion is obtained based on energy method and Lagrange equation. Mathematical modeling of loose disk in a rotor bearing system has resulted in terms similar to unbalance and gyroscopic effect in the system equation of motion. The effect of loose disk axial position and orthotropic ...

Boundary Layers and Heat Transfer on a Rotating Rough Disk

The study of flow and heat transfer over rotating circular disks is of great practical importance in understanding the cooling of rotatory machinery such as turbines, electric motors and design and manufacturing of computer disk drives. This paper presents an analysis of the flow and heat transfer over a heated infinite permeable rough disk. Boundary-layer approximation reduces the elliptic Nav...

Magnetohydrodynamic Flow due to a Stretching Surface in Rotating Fluid

In this study, we investigate analytical treatment of three dimensional MHD viscous flow in a rotating frame. The flow is generated due to uniform stretching of a sheet in x direction. Analytic solution is obtained through peturbation method after transforming the governing partial differential equation to ordinary differential equation using suitable similarity transformations. Graphs are plot...
